Discussion

there must not be local users/roles within CylanceON-PREM. Manually verifying local users and roles ensures that unauthorized users do not gain access to sensitive resources.

Check

Verify that only admin break-glass user is local.

1. Log in to the admin console. 2. Navigate to ACCESS MANAGEMENT >> User Management. 3. Observe the list of users.

If any users other than break-glass/Admin user exist, this is a finding.

If the break-glass/Admin user is using the default name or password, this is a finding.

Fix

Remove any local users except for the break-glass/Admin user. Administrator privileges are required.

1. Log in to the admin console. 2. Navigate to ACCESS MANAGEMENT >> User Management. 3. Under "Action", click the kebab icon. 4. Select "Delete". 5. Click "Remove User".

Edit the break-glass/Admin user to not use a default name or password. Protect these credentials in accordance with internal policies.
