1. Secure Encryption of Management Traffic
OOB management often involves remote access to routers, switches, servers and other critical devices. FIPS 140-3 certification guarantees that all cryptographic modules used in these systems have been rigorously tested to secure data in transit. Encrypting management traffic is crucial to prevent interception or manipulation by unauthorized users, particularly for tasks such as command execution, configuration updates, and device monitoring.
With FIPS-certified encryption, companies can protect OOB traffic between management devices and network components, so that only authorized administrators have access to sensitive system commands and device settings.
