Anti-tampering Devices
All network elements should be physically secured where possible. This
includes the use of locked cabinets and the use of seals on connectors.
All network and audio connectors should be sealed with a stick-on type of
seal to detect unauthorized tampering. The seal should reveal if any of the
connectors have been unplugged or if any unauthorized equipment has
been plugged in.
Seals must be difficult to remove without breaking, and must bridge
between the cable and equipment side (plug and socket) of the connection.
Seals must cover any unused network or audio sockets. This includes the
Ethernet connector, any spare switch ports, and the console port on the
router and switch.
Seals must be difficult to reproduce. A sticker initialed or signed by the
technician should satisfy this.
Seals must be replaced if they need to be disturbed during maintenance.
