Discussion

Configuring the operating system to implement organizationwide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DOD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements. Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed in hardware, software, or firmware components of the system that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the system. Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the system, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements. Security-related parameters include registry settings; account, file, and directory permission settings; and settings for functions, ports, protocols, services, and remote connections.

1. For AOS, Prism Central, and Files, verify the SCMA framework is set to check the baseline daily using the following command.

$ ncli cluster get-cvm-security-config | egrep 'Schedule'
Schedule : DAILY

2. For AHV, verify the SCMA framework is set to check the baseline daily using the following command.

$ ncli cluster get-hypervisor-security-config | egrep 'Schedule'
Schedule : DAILY

If the SCMA framework "Schedule" is not set to "DAILY", this is a finding.
