Note: |
At the time of writing, version 26.7 is the most current version, released 05/21/2025.
A standard configuration of this technology was developed by the DDE team. At the time of writing, the standard version is 26.2.0.140, and version 26.5.0.16 and 26.6.1.7 are under testing and development for six weeks from 05/21/2025. Versions set by the DDE team will be the only authorized versions to be utilized on the VA network. |
| | [20] | This technology has received one or more VA security bulletins that provide specific guidance on vulnerability patching and mitigation. It is the responsibility of VA system owners to ensure that the appropriate mitigations are taken to address all known and future discovered vulnerabilities with this product. See the Reference tab for more information on security bulletins related to this product. | | [25] | Due to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) identified security vulnerabilities, extra vigilance should be applied to ensure the versions remain properly patched to mitigate known and future vulnerabilities. The local ISSO (Information System Security Officer) can provide assistance in reviewing the NIST vulnerabilities. | | [26] | In cases where the technology is used for external connections, a full Enterprise Security Change Control Board (ESCCB) review is required in accordance VA Directive 6004 , VA Directive 6517, and VA Directive 6513. The local ISSO (Information System Security Officer) can advise on the ESCCB review process. | | [27] | The Federal Information Processing standards (FIPS) 140-2 certification status of this technology was not able to be verified. This technology will require a 3rd party FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 certified solution for any data containing PHI/PII or VA sensitive information, where applicable. More information regarding the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) can be found on the NIST website. | | [29] | The Creative Cloud (CC) version of this technology must be downloaded and installed using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop.
Editing and publication of official materials and graphics utilizing this software must be restricted to those who have an official need to publish information on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Additionally, no synchronization or storage of VA data is permitted outside the Department via the Creative Cloud synchronization and storage options.
If free trialware is utilized, the software must be purchased or removed at the end of the trial period.
Users must ensure that Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Firefox are implemented with VA-authorized baselines.
Bitmap Image File, a supported standard for this technology, is divested at the time of writing. Users should utilized other authorized standards when using this technology. | | [30] | Due to potential information security risks for cloud-based technologies, users should coordinate closely with their facility ISSO for guidance and assistance on cloud products. If further guidance is needed contact the Enterprise Cloud Solution Office (ECSO), which is the body responsible for new software development in and migration of existing systems to the VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) and ensuring organizational information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and VA sensitive data are not compromised within the VAEC. For information about Software as a Service (SaaS) products or to submit a SaaS product request, visit the Product Marketplace. (Ref: VA Directive 6004, VA Directive 6517, VA Directive 6513 and VA Directive 6102). | | [31] | The Creative Cloud (CC) version of this technology must be downloaded and installed using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop.
