Discussion

Configuring the application to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DoD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements. Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the system. Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the application, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements.

Check Content

Log in to the Horizon 7 Console. From the left pane, navigate to Settings >> Servers. In the right pane, select the "Connection Servers" tab. For each Connection Server listed, select the server and click "Edit". Select the "Backup" tab. Validate that "Automatic backup frequency" is set to a least "Every day".

If the Connection Server is not set to be backed up daily (or less), this is a finding.
