Advisory Domain Joining

1. Over 23,500 all-in-one (AIO) computers were provided across India by the Directorate General of Systems (DG Systems) to connect CBIC users to critical applications securely. 2. Some sites are using the AIOs for general office work without joining them to the CBIC secure network, posing a security threat through potential data leakage. 3. Joining the AIOs to the CBIC domain network provides central management and security benefits like patching, software deployment, user access control, and screen locking. Sites are requested to prioritize domain joining all AIOs with HPE representatives to ensure intended secure use.

Advisory: - LW/01/2021
Domain Joining of all DG Systems provided AIOs
1. Under Project Saksham, DG Systems has provided 23,500+ AIOs to pan India CBIC offices
to ensure that CBIC users can connect to critical applications hosted in CBIC Data Centers
seamlessly and securely. Since, these applications deal with critical data, data security is of utmost
importance and thus proper data security of the AIOs needs to be ensured as well.
2. Instances have come to notice of DG systems wherein certain sites are using DG Systems
provided AIOs as “Standalone” for general office work and using open internet for these AIOs.
Further, some AIOs are kept “In Stock” as well. These AIOs are not “Domain Joined” i.e they are
not connected to CBIC secure Network and hence CBIC recommended security features are not
enabled in these AIOs. This poses a massive security threat regarding data leakage in these AIOs.

3. The benefits of having the AIOs domain joined can be summarized as under:

Central management and control of security settings for all AIOs on the domain.
Windows Security patch deploy centrally on all AIOs which is very important for security
prospective.
Deploy Software and security agents centrally without human intervention.
Provide mechanism to control users and IT infra centrally link password management, user
rights and others.
Restriction of USB access for all AIOs to control the use of mass storage devices. Permission is
assigned and controlled based on username.
Lockout of user accounts after a set number of failed log-on attempts to prevent potential cyber
criminals gaining access to Officers data stored in AIOs.
Ability to set all computers to lock their screens after a set period of time and unlock using
SSOID password. This helps prevent others from easily viewing what’s on Officer’s screen or
from accessing Officer’s computer while away from his/her system.
Push important message to Officers by using AIO background display and screen saver.

4. In view of the above, it is impressed upon to all that every AIO provided by DG Systems
must be Domain joined. It is requested to cooperate with HPE representatives and ensure all AIOs
provided by DG Systems at your site are domain joined on priority, otherwise DG System will be
constrained to shift non – domain joined AIOs to other offices where the same would be used for
intended purposes.
