Description
Failure to securely connect to remote sites can leave systems open to multiple attacks and security violations through the network. Failure to securely implement remote support connections can lead to unauthorized access or denial of service attacks on the Hardware Management Console.

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-256890r991589_chk)

Have the Network Security Engineer or system Programmer check, that the remote Internet connection for IBM RSF support has met the requirements of the Remote Access STIGs. For controls that are a part of IBM’s closed system that cannot be updated or changed by customers, review provided documentation, such as found in the HMC Broadband Support manuals or a letter of Attestation provided by IBM assuring compliance. If the security measures in the Remote Access STIGs are not fully compliant and there is no supporting documentation or Letter of attestation on file with the IAM/IAO this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-60508r891015_fix)

The Network Security Officer or System Programmer should make any changes required for IBM RSF to meet the requirements stipulated in the Remote Access STIGs. Also any documentation or letters of Attestation should be placed on file with the IAM/IAO. The letter of attestation must be signed by an authorized representative of IBM. The letter should contain certification that the security measures identified in the Remote Access STIGs are in compliance.
