Environment

GWAVA Appliance

Situation

We are using the Appliance, are there any changes that need to be made to be protected from the NTP Exploit?

Resolution

Remote servers can not connect to the appliance to do NTP queries. This port is disabled on the firewall. Nobody should be able to connect to the NTP service running on the appliance box.
