TMA-MFD-2.1.8
Limit Network Accessibility
Description
Network devices, such as routers and firewalls can be configured to limit ingress traffic to the MFD. It is recommended that network traffic destined to the MFD be limited to authorized subnets and ports. Limiting the network accessibility of the MFD to only authorized subnets and ports will reduce the exposure of remotely accessible vulnerabilities affecting the MFD.
