Description
The major threat associated with DNS forged responses or failures is the integrity of the DNS data returned in the response. The principle of DNSSEC is to mitigate this threat by providing data origin authentication, establishing trust in the source. By requiring remote clients to obtain origin authentication and integrity verification assurances for the host/service name to network address resolution information obtained through the service, data origin is validated. Ensuring all name servers have static IP addresses makes it possible to configure restricted DNS communication, such as with DNSSEC, between the name servers.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 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-259374r1156950_chk)

Log on to the DNS server using the Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin account or Local Administrator account. Use "ipconfig /all" to identify all network adapters. or Locate the "Network Internet Access" icon, right-click on it, and select "Open Network & Sharing Center". Click "Change adapter settings". Right-click on the Ethernet and click "Properties". Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties". Verify the "Use the following IP address" is selected, with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway assigned. If the "Use the following IP address" is not selected with a configured IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, this is a finding.
