Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• SI-08a.
  • SI-08a.[01] spam protection mechanisms are employed at system entry points to detect unsolicited messages;
  • SI-08a.[02] spam protection mechanisms are employed at system exit points to detect unsolicited messages;
  • SI-08a.[03] spam protection mechanisms are employed at system entry points to act on unsolicited messages;
  • SI-08a.[04] spam protection mechanisms are employed at system exit points to act on unsolicited messages;
• SI-08b. spam protection mechanisms are updated when new releases are available in accordance with organizational configuration management policies and procedures.
