Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of currently allowed administrator sessions is a best practice that lowers the risk of DoS attacks.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 6 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-242232r960735_chk)

1. Log in to the SMS client. 2. Select >> "Edit" >> "Preferences". Select "Security" under "Session Preferences". 3. Verify the setting for the "limit number of total and user sessions" option is checked. 4. Verify the active sessions allowed on SMS option has a numeric value of 10 or less. If the TippingPoint SMS does not limit total number of user sessions for privileged uses to a maximum of 10, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-45465r710702_fix)
