SQL6-D0-007000 - Unused database components, DBMS software, and database objects must be removed.

Information

Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations (e.g., key missions, functions).

It is detrimental for software products to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives.

DBMSs must adhere to the principles of least functionality by providing only essential capabilities.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Remove all features that are not required.
