Ensure ‘Login Banner’ is set

Details

Configure a login banner, ideally approved by the organizations legal team. This banner should, at minimum, prohibit unauthorized access, provide notice of logging or monitoring, and avoid using the word welcome or similar words of invitation.

Rationale:

Through a properly stated login banner, the risk of unintentional access to the device by unauthorized users is reduced. Should legal action take place against a person accessing the device without authorization, the login banner greatly diminishes a defendants claim of ignorance.

Solution

Navigate to Device > Setup > Management > General Settings.
Set Login Banner as appropriate.
Default Value:
Not configured
