title: "Disable Remote Apple Events"
discussion: |
If the system does not require Remote Apple Events, support for Apple Remote Events is non-essential and _MUST_ be disabled.
The information system _MUST_ be configured to provide only essential capabilities. Disabling Remote Apple Events helps prevent the unauthorized connection of devices, the unauthorized transfer of information, and unauthorized tunneling.
