Description
This policy setting allows the user to determine whether or not to include Internet Calendar integration in Outlook. The Internet Calendar feature in Outlook enables users to publish calendars online (using the webcal:// protocol) and subscribe to calendars that others have published. When users subscribe to an internet calendar, Outlook queries the calendar at regular intervals and downloads any changes as they are posted. If this policy setting is enabled, all internet calendar functionality in Outlook is disabled. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, Outlook allows users to subscribe to trusted and untrusted internet calendars. The webcal protocol also has a history of loading web sites vulnerable to cross site scripting.

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.
