Description

The ISSM/ISSO must be cognizant of all applications operating on the Tomcat server, and must address any security implications associated with the operation of the applications. If unknown/undocumented applications are operating on the Tomcat server, these applications increase risk for the system due to not being managed, patched or monitored for unapproved activity on the system.
