CMS dont permit console access to the Linux implementation ( There is a debug option that might have it, but its only for troubleshoting with Cisco. Its supplied as a applience. The security team sholud be able to do the security audit on it without console access ( The bad guys wont have console) - they will have to access it over the network ( I assume).

 

If I still had a CMS, and there was console access - I would not give it to the security team.  Say you need support and it turns out the security people has disabled some services they deem insecure or unncecery.

 

Make shure you are running the latest version of CMS. Check the CVE database for known weeknesses, run a tool like Nessus. Try bruteforceing the passwords with a tool like THC-hydra for instance. Knowing the version of Linux wont say the weeknesses a system has.
