By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.

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-250986r1028213_chk)

Review Sentry configuration to verify that it enforces the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts. 1. Log in to Sentry System Manager portal. 2. Go to the "Security" tab. 3. Go to "Password Policy". 4. Look for "Number of Failed Attempts" and determine if the value is set to 3. If it is not, this is a finding. 5. Verify the Auto-Lock Time value is set to 900 seconds or more. If the Auto-Lock Time is not set to 900 seconds or more, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-54375r1004834_fix)

Configure Sentry to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid login attempts during a 15-minute time period. 1. Log in to Sentry System Manager portal. 2. Go to the "Security" tab. 3. Go to "Password Policy". 4. For "Number of Failed Attempts", set value to 3. 5. For "Auto-Lock Time", set value to 900 seconds or more.
