Infoblox systems configured to run the DNS service must be configured to prohibit or restrict unapproved ports and protocols.

Description
In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable or restrict unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems. Applications 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. Additionally, it is sometimes convenient to provide multiple services from a single component (e.g., email and web services); however, doing so increases risk over limiting the services provided by any one component. To support the requirements and principles of least functionality, the application must support the organizational requirements by providing only essential capabilities and limiting the use of ports, protocols, and/or services to only those required, authorized, and approved to conduct official business or to address authorized quality of life issues.

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.

Note: For Infoblox DNS systems on a Classified network, this requirement is Not Applicable. By default all services other than those required for management are disabled. Validate that no additional services have been enabled for DNS members. Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Services tab and review each service and member status at the top of the panel. Depending upon purchased options, Infoblox DNS members may be running DNS, Reporting, Threat Protection, Threat Analytics, and TAXII services, this is not a finding. If any unnecessary services such as file distribution services are enabled on the DNS members, this is a finding. Note: Once DNSSEC is enabled, the DNS service will be required to be running on the Grid Master.

Fix Text (F-15376r295756_fix)

Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Services tab. Select each available service at the top of the panel and review the Service Status. Click on the member and disable unnecessary services.
