Downloaded software must always be scanned for viruses prior to installation to prevent adware or malware. Freeware may only be downloaded directly from the primary site that the creator of the software has advertised for public download and user or development community engagement. Users should note, any attempt by the installation process to install any additional, unrelated software is not approved and the user should take the proper steps to decline those installations. | | | [8] | Use of this technology is limited to VA staff charged with ensuring the security of the VA network infrastructure. VA staff performing analysis with this technology need to work closely with system owners and agree on security scanning rules, such as the assets scanned, along the schedule and frequency of those scans. | | | [9] | Users must ensure that Apache Tomcat, Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), and Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server are implemented with VA-approved baselines.
