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-279601r1192483_chk)

Verify Nutanix OS is configured to not automount devices using the following command. $ sudo systemctl status autofs If "autofs.sevice" is installed and or enabled, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-84059r1191766_fix)

Nutanix OS does not support the autofs.service by design. If autofs.service is enabled, some type of corruption has occurred and the OS must be rebuilt.
