Description
By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.

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-275481r1148299_chk)

Verify Password Rules are configured for "Maximum failed login attempts allowed". 1. From the GUI, navigate to Configuration >> Configure >> All Settings >> Administer. 2. On the User Management screen, select "Password Rules". 3. Verify "Maximum failed login attempts allowed" is checked and set to "3". 4. Verify "Time interval for max failed login attempts in minutes" is set to "15". If both "Maximum failed login attempts allowed" is not set to "3" and the "Time interval for max failed login attempts in minutes" is set to "15", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-79488r1148299_fix)

Configure the Password Rules for Maximum failed login attempts allowed. 1. From the GUI, navigate to Configuration >> Configure >> All Settings >> Administer. 2. On the User Management screen, select "Password Rules". 3. Check the box for "Maximum failed login attempts allowed". 4. Enter "3" in the option box. 5. Check the box for "Time interval for max failed login attempts in minutes". 6. Enter "15" in the option box and click "Submit". Note: Local users must not be created; however, setting these requirements are a good best practice.
