TMA-MFD-2.1.7
Confirm Network Ports are Closed
Description
Research has demonstrated that some MFDs suffer from a mismatch between the service state articulated in the management console and the true state of the service. Given this, it is recommended that the MFD undergo a port scan to ensure only expected network services are available. Performing a port scan on the MFD will validate that only expected network services are exposed. Additionally, results of the port scan will provide additional security assurance that the device is operating as expected or identify exposures that require additional attention.
