Description
Network devices running an unsupported operating system lack current security fixes required to mitigate the risks associated with recent vulnerabilities. In October 2021, there is plan to make Version 7 end-of-life. This will be stated on the product lifecycle page of the Forescout website. All versions of V8 and above are authorized for use in DOD. Version 8 or later is mandatory after October 2021.

Who does this work

10 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.

Check Text (C-230953r1113791_chk)

Check that Forescout is still running supported operating system versions and that all vulnerability patches and updates have been applied. Verify the installed version is supported by Forescout by checking the Forescout support website lifecycle page. Currently, Version 8 or later is mandatory after October 2021. If Forescout is running an operating system release that is not supported by the vendor, this is a finding. Check from the Console: 1. Log into the Forescout management console. 2. Select Help > About Forescout to show the current version. Check from the CLI: 1. Log into the Forescout CLI. 2. Type "fstool version" to show the current running version.

Fix Text (F-33856r603699_fix)

Check that Forescout is still running supported operating system versions and that all vulnerability patches and updates have been applied. Establish and document a procedure that requires the auditing of OS versions and any patches and updates have been applied in accordance with Forescout support website lifecycle page.
