{"description": "Data transmitted over a network, whether wired or wireless, is susceptible\nto passive monitoring. Whenever practical solutions for encrypting\nsuch data exist, they should be applied. Even if data is expected to\nbe transmitted only over a local network, it should still be encrypted.\nEncrypting authentication data, such as passwords, is particularly\nimportant. Networks of Ubuntu 22.04 machines can and should be configured\nso that no unencrypted authentication data is ever transmitted between\nmachines.", "warnings": [], "requires": [], "conflicts": [], "values": {}, "groups": {}, "rules": {}, "platform": "", "platforms": [], "inherited_platforms": [], "cpe_platform_names": [], "title": "Encrypt Transmitted Data Whenever Possible", "definition_location": "/aptdata/openscap/scap-security-guide/linux_os/guide/intro/general-principles/principle-encrypt-transmitted-data/group.yml"}
