Description
Configuring the operating system to implement organizationwide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DOD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements. Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed in hardware, software, or firmware components of the system that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the system. Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the system, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements. Security-related parameters include registry settings; account, file, and directory permission settings; and settings for functions, ports, protocols, services, and remote connections.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 8 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-279582r1192311_chk)

1. For AOS, Prism Central, and Files, verify the SCMA framework is set to check the baseline daily using the following command. $ ncli cluster get-cvm-security-config | egrep 'Schedule' Schedule : DAILY 2. For AHV, verify the SCMA framework is set to check the baseline daily using the following command. $ ncli cluster get-hypervisor-security-config | egrep 'Schedule' Schedule : DAILY If the SCMA framework "Schedule" is not set to "DAILY", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-84040r1191709_fix)

1. For AOS, Prism Central, and Files, set the SCMA framework to check the baseline daily using the following command. $ sudo ncli cluster edit-cvm-security-params schedule=daily 2. For AHV, set the SCMA framework to check the baseline daily using the following command. $ sudo ncli cluster edit-hypervisor-security-params schedule=hourly
