The Mainframe Product must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).

Description
Lack of authentication and identification enables non-organizational users to gain access to the application or possibly other information systems and provides an opportunity for intruders to compromise resources within the application or information system. Non-organizational users include all information system users other than organizational users which include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status of employees (e.g., contractors and guest researchers). Non-organizational users must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all accesses other than those accesses explicitly identified and documented by the organization when related to the use of anonymous access, such as accessing a web server.

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-205510r961053_chk)

If the Mainframe Product has no function or capability for user logon, this is not applicable. If the Mainframe Product employs an external security manager for all account management functions, this is not applicable. Examine installation and configuration settings. Examine user account configurations. If the Mainframe Product does not uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-5776r299764_fix)

Configure the Mainframe Product account management settings to uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users
