Description
Application servers provide remote access capability and must be able to enforce remote access policy requirements or work in conjunction with enterprise tools designed to enforce policy requirements. Automated monitoring and control of remote access sessions allows organizations to detect cyber attacks and also ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies by logging connection activities of remote users. Examples of policy requirements include, but are not limited to, authorizing remote access to the information system, limiting access based on authentication credentials, and monitoring for unauthorized access.

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.

Check Text (C-255828r961278_chk)

If the systems user registry is managed by LDAP, this requirement is NA. Review the System Security Plan documentation. Interview the system administrator. Obtain a list of authorized users. In the administrative console, navigate to Users and Groups >> Manage Groups. Select each group. Select the "Members" tab. Validate the members of the group are authorized. If users in the group are not authorized by the ISSO/ISSM, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-59444r876774_fix)

From administrative console, navigate to Users and Groups >> Administrative group roles. Note: names of the groups and the roles assigned to each group. Navigate back to User and Groups >> Manage Groups. Click on every group. For each group, click on users. If there is any user who does not belong to the group based on the roles assigned to the group, click on the checkbox next to the user. Click "Remove". Restart the DMGR and all the JVMs.
