Assessment Title
Rule Text
The macOS system must use multifactor authentication for local and network access to privileged and non-privileged accounts, the establishment of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions, and authentication for remote access to privileged accounts in such a way that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.
Description
Discussion Text
Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged and non-privileged functions is greatly increased.
Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentication.
Factors include:
1) something a user knows (e.g., password/PIN);
2) something a user has (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); and
3) something a user is (e.g., biometric).
A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user.
Network access is defined as access to an information system by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network (e.g., local area network, wide area network, or the Internet).
Local access is defined as access to an organizational information system by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a direct connection without the use of a network.
The DoD CAC with DoD-approved PKI is an example of multifactor authentication.
