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-217311r960840_chk)

Review the router configuration to verify that it enforces the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts after which time it will lockout the user account from accessing the router for 15 minutes as shown in the example below. login { retry-options { tries-before-disconnect 3; lockout-period 15; } If the router is not configured to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts after which time it will lockout the user account from accessing the router for 15 minutes, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-18536r296512_fix)

Configure the router to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts and lock out the user account from accessing the device for 15 minutes as shown in the example below. [edit system login] set retry-options tries-before-disconnect 3 set retry-options lockout-period 15
