ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

Platform hardening and Compliance

The following ECS security features support Compliance standards.

ECS platform security features:

  • User root access to nodes is disabled (no user root logins permitted).
  • ECS customers can access nodes through the admin user set up during first-time installations.
  • The admin user runs commands on nodes using sudo.
  • There is full audit logging for sudo commands.
  • ESRS provides the ability to shut down all remote access to nodes. In ESRS Policy Manager, set the Start Remote Terminal action to Never Allow.
  • All unnecessary ports (ftpd, sshd) are closed.
  • The emcsecurity user with the Lock Administrator role can lock nodes in a cluster. This means that remote access over the network by SSH is disabled. The Lock Administrator can then unlock a node to allow for remote maintenance activities or other authorized access.
    NOTE: Node locking does not affect authorized ECS Portal or ECS Management API users.
