IT Baseline Protection Manual S 5.11 Blocking the server console

S 5.11 Blocking the server console

Initiation responsibility: Head of IT Section, IT Security Management

Implementation responsibility: Administrators

From the server console, it is possible to control the network server. If the server console is not blocked during network operation, anybody obtaining access to the server room can exploit this opportunity for illicit manipulations. Therefore, the server console should generally remain blocked and only be released with a special password.

This measure can be replaced or, preferably, be complemented by S 1.23 Locked Doors.
