Description
System-level information includes default and customized settings and security attributes, including ACLs that relate to the network device configuration, as well as software required for the execution and operation of the device. Information system backup is a critical step in ensuring system integrity and availability. If the system fails and there is no backup of the system-level information, a denial of service condition is possible for all who utilize this critical network component. This control requires the network device to support the organizational central backup process for system-level information associated with the network device. This function may be provided by the network device itself; however, the preferred best practice is a centralized backup rather than each network device performing discrete backups.

Who does this work

11 NICE work roles and 10 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.

Details

Check Text (C-246944r961863_chk)

Use "set -privilege advanced" reply "y" to continue and "system configuration backup show" to see if ONTAP is configured for system backups. If ONTAP is not configured to conduct backups of system-level data when changes occur, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50330r769163_fix)

Configure ONTAP to conduct backups of system level information with "set -privilege advanced" reply "y" to continue and "system configuration backup create -node <node_name> -backup-type cluster -backup-name <name>".
