Fix Recommendation

Disable functions, ports, protocols, and services that are not part of https://disa.deps.mil/ext/cop/iase/ppsm/Pages/cal.aspx document, and as such are not approved.

Modify "native_transport_port" and "rpc_address" values in "cassandra.yaml" file, to set them in the approved range (refer to https://disa.deps.mil/ext/cop/iase/ppsm/Pages/cal.aspx document).

Check Contents

Obtain document containing the list of approved ports, protocols and services from https://disa.deps.mil/ext/cop/iase/ppsm/Pages/cal.aspx. Review the Cassandra Server database settings and local documentation for functions, ports, protocols, and services that are not approved.

Open the console to the server Cassandra DB is hosted at and type: "find / | grep "cassandra.yaml"". Open cassandra.yaml and review "native_transport_port" parameter value. Run "netstat -ntl | grep <"native_transport_port" parameter value >" command from the console on the host.

If protocol, port, and IP address Cassandra communicates on are not found in https://disa.deps.mil/ext/cop/iase/ppsm/Pages/cal.aspx, this is a finding.
