IBM System Display and Search Facility (SDSF) resources will be properly defined and protected.

Description
IBM SDSF can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to system programmers only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain nonsystems personnel with read only authority.

Who does this work

17 NICE work roles and 9 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-224320r1069993_chk)

Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection and Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(ZISF0021) - ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) - Alternate report Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZISF0021) Ensure that all SDSF resources are properly protected according to the requirements specified in the SDSF Server OPERCMDS Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. The ACF2 resources and/or generic equivalent as designated in the above table are defined with a default access of NONE. The ACF2 resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table. The ACF2 resource logging is specified as designated in the above table.

Fix Text (F-25985r1069992_fix)

The ISSO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the Access Control Program (ACP). Ensure that the IBM SDSF resource access is in accordance with those outlined in SDSF Server OPERCMDS Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. Use SDSF Server OPERCMDS Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. These tables list the resources and access requirements for IBM SDSF; ensure the following guidelines are followed: The ACF2 resources and/or generic equivalent as designated in the above table are defined with a default access of NONE. The ACF2 resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table. The ACF2 resource logging is specified as designated in the above table.
