+      Section 1: Application containers can only access administrative services remotely.
+      Privileged containers can gain access to the host, the host's file system, or the host's network.
+      This is necessary, for example, for the infrastructure services of OpenShift (ingress router).
+      Normal applications (application containers) may not receive such permissions.
+
+      Section 2: This requirement must be partially implemented organizationally and
+      should be part of the guideline defined in SYS.1.6.A10. There may be exceptions for applications
+      that should/need to make configurations to Kubernetes resources. This means they have
+      administrative remote access to the corresponding Kubernetes resources.
+      Remote access is controlled by Kubernetes and backup takes place via the Kubernetes
+      functionalities (see module APP.4.4). The operating system including Mandatory Access Control
+      is optimized as a runtime environment for Kubernetes. In general, it is possible to limit
+      the provision/post-installation of remote access programs in the container.
+      Also the container runtime security tools can detect, alert and remediate,
+      if remote access daemon processes such as SSHD are running in a container.
+
+      Section 3: This requirement should also be included in the policy described in SYS.1.6.A10.
+      OpenShift only allows access to the configured ports. A container that provides remote maintenance
+      access to these ports may not be released. Application containers should be administered
+      exclusively via the container runtime. Using a policy, known remote access ports
+      (e.g. 22, RDP, etc.) can be reported via ACS and their use prevented.
+
+      Section 4: This is standard in OpenShift environments. OpenShift offers a terminal login
+      via the oc administration tool. Communication runs via the control plane to the container
+      and is both authenticated and authorized.
