Tanium must automatically lock accounts and require them be unlocked by an administrator when three unsuccessful login attempts in 15 minutes are exceeded.

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. Limits are imposed by locking the account.

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-254861r1067744_chk)

1. Log in to Tanium interactively as a TanAdmin user. 2. Type "A" for "Appliance Configuration Menu". 3. Type "A" for Security. 4. Type "P" for Security Policy. 5. The section for "Account lockout:" should read "0 seconds after 3 failures". If the section reads anything else, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-58418r1067743_fix)

1. Log in to Tanium interactively as a TanAdmin user. 2. Type "A" for "Appliance Configuration Menu". 3. Type "A" for "Security". 4. Type "P" for "Security Policy". 5. Type "L" for "Account Lockout Time". 6. Set the account lockout time to "0". Note: The time range for the three failures to occur is 15 minutes by default and cannot be configured otherwise.
