Description
Configuring the network element to block, drop, and/or quarantine based on local organizational incident handling procedures minimizes the impact of this code on the network. Malicious code includes, but is not limited to, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. The code provides the ability for a malicious user to read from and write to files and folders on a computer's hard drive. Malicious code could run and attach programs, which may allow the unauthorized distribution of malicious mobile code. Sometimes it is necessary to generate a log event and then automatically drop or block the malicious code; however, for critical attacks or where forensic evidence is deemed necessary, the preferred action is for the file to be quarantined for further investigation. This requirement is limited to network elements that perform security functions, such as ALG and IPS.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 7 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-206890r1137737_chk)

If the device being reviewed is an IDS, this is not applicable. Verify the IPS quarantines blocks malicious code. If the IPS does not quarantine or blocks malicious code, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-7144r1137736_fix)

Configure the IPS to quarantine or block malicious code.
