Endpoint policy assessment must proceed after the endpoint attempting access has been identified using an approved identification method such as IP address. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 2.

Description
Automated policy assessments must reflect the organization's current security policy so entry control decisions will happen only where remote endpoints meet the organization's security requirements. If the remote endpoints are allowed to connect to the organization's network without passing minimum-security controls, they become a threat to the entire network. Organizational policy must be established for what Forescout will check on the host for the agent and agentless. The Forescout system security plan (SSP) will be used to assess compliance with the requirement since each SSP item must be configured. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Verification that anti-virus software is authorized, running, and virus signatures are up to date. - Host-based firewall installed and configured according to the organization's security policy. - Host IDS/IPS is installed, operational, and up to date. - Uses the result of malware, anti-virus, and IDS scans and status as part of the assessment decision process. - Required BIOS, operating system, browser, and office application patch levels. - Performs an assessment of the list of running services. - Test for the presence of DoD-required software. - Test for presence of peer-to-peer software (not allowed).

Who does this work

17 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

If DoD is not at C2C Step 2 or higher, this is not a finding. Use the Forescout Administrator UI to ensure that the endpoint compliance assessment policies have been implemented per the SSP and are functioning correctly. 1. Log on to the Forescout Administrator UI. 2. From the Home screen select the "Policy" tab. 3. Verify that policies exist that assess compliance in accordance with the SSP. If Forescout does not have compliance assessment policies configured this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-36470r803450_fix)

Use the Forescout Administrator UI to configure the endpoint compliance assessment policies per the SSP. 1. From the console on the Enterprise Manager console, select the Policy tab. 2. In accordance with the SSP, ensure that the endpoint compliance assessment policies have been configured and are functioning properly.
