AC-17(6) Protection of Mechanism Information
Control enhancement of AC-17 Remote Access
Control
Protect information about remote access mechanisms from unauthorized use and disclosure.
Discussion
Remote access to organizational information by non-organizational entities can increase the risk of unauthorized use and disclosure about remote access mechanisms. The organization considers including remote access requirements in the information exchange agreements with other organizations, as applicable. Remote access requirements can also be included in rules of behavior (see [PL-4](#pl-4) ) and access agreements (see [PS-6](#ps-6)).
