Description
The Maximum failed attempts before disable delay is not set to 3. This specifies the number of consecutive incorrect password attempts the Hardware Management Console allows as 3 times, before setting a 60-minute delay to attempt to retry the password. The improper setting of any of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. Note: The Hardware Management Console does not allow a revoke of a user ID.A 60-minute delay time setting is being substituted.

Who does this work

7 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.

Check Text (C-256881r958736_chk)

Have the System Administrator display the Disable delay in minutes. Disable Delay is found in User Profiles by selecting the user, selecting modify user and then selecting User Properties. If this is les than 60 minutes then this is a finding. Note: Hardware Management Console does not have the ability to revoke a user ID, so a 60-minute delay has been imposed instead.

Fix Text (F-60499r890988_fix)

The System Administrator will display the User Properties window on the Hardware Management Console for each user and verify that the disable delay is set to 60 or more. Maximum Failed Attempts and Disable Delay are found in User Profiles by selecting the user, selecting modify user and then selecting User Properties.
