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-279584r1192313_chk)

Verify Nutanix OS does not allow users to override environment variables to the SSH daemon. 1. Check for the value of the "PermitUserEnvironment" keyword using the following command. Verify the "PermitUserEnvironment" keyword is not set to "no", is missing, or is commented out. $ sudo grep -i permituserenvironment /etc/ssh/sshd_config PermitUserEnvironment no 2. Verify "HostbasedAuthentication" keyword is not set to "no", is missing, or is commented out. $ sudo grep -i hostbasedauthentication /etc/ssh/sshd_config HostbasedAuthentication no If Nutanix OS does allows users to override environment variables to the SSH daemon, this is a finding.
