For VCOs which are not on a supported release train, customers can contact TAC to discuss possible upgrade options for your release. Until the fixed software is deployed, operators should apply defense-in-depth controls appropriate for their environment: * Restrict access to the VCO web interface to trusted administrative networks. * Monitor the VCO for accesses from known malicious source IPs. * Monitor for unexpected outbound network activity from the VCO host. * Review recent administrator activity for unexpected changes. |
