CSG-DisableSubnet

Indicates provision of network LogicalSubnet 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, which it could do in any location, but the user will keep the hotspot functionality switched off in some locations.
