Description
Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations (e.g., key missions, functions). It is detrimental for software products to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. DBMSs must adhere to the principles of least functionality by providing only essential capabilities.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 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.

On UNIX/LINUX, run the db2ls command to find all install paths of DB2 on the system: $db2ls Run the db2ls command to find installed features of database on install paths: $db2ls -q -b <db2 install path> If there are installed features which are not required by the mission objectives and are non-essential, this is a finding. On Windows, go to Registry Editor in Windows. Then select Computer >> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> IBM >> DB2 >> COMPONENTS If there are installed features which are not required by the mission objectives and are non-essential, this is a finding.

On UNIX/Linux, run the following db2_deinstall command to remove the non-essential features: $db2_deinstall –F <feature> Note: The db2_deinstall command is located at DB2DIR/install, where DB2DIR is the location where the current version of the DB2 database product is installed. (If uncertain of the value to provide for DB2DIR, find it using the db2level command. On Windows, run the db2unins command to remove one or more db2 product, feature or languages. >>-db2unins –p product (to remove db2 product) or >>-db2unins –u response-file (to remove db2 product, feature or languages.)
