Control Strategy DisableRadioSubnet

URI: CSG-DisableRadioSubnet

Package: Network

< prev | next >

Description: Indicates provision of network RadioSubnet is disabled at device Gateway, meaning the subnet is not available to potential attackers. This strategy does not represent a contingency plan, but a permanent restriction introduced by design or in accordance with an operational policy or user preference. It also triggers threats representing side effects that would be caused by such a restriction. The most common situation where provision of a subnet is possible but would not be used in practice is where a mobile device provides a WiFi hotspot. The control applies to the hotspot implementation, so affects provision of the hotspot in one location, making it possible to indicate that the user would keep the hotspot functionality switched off in that location.
