TMA-MFD-2.2.2
Disable Unused Wi-Fi Interfaces
Description
MFDs often come equipped with Wi-Fi cards that allow these devices to participate on wireless LANs. As a defense in depth measure, it is recommended that unused Wi-Fi interfaces be disabled. This configuration will reduce risk introduced by vulnerabilities that are exposed over such interfaces. This configuration will also decrease exposure to flaws in the MFDs Wi-Fi protocol stacks.
