The container platform must require users to reauthenticate when organization-defined circumstances or situations require reauthentication.
Description
Discussion Text
Controlling user access is paramount in securing the container platform. During a user's access to the container platform, events may occur that change the user's access and which require reauthentication. For instance, if the capability to change security roles or escalate privileges is implemented, it is critical the user reauthenticate.
In addition to the reauthentication requirements associated with change in security roles or privilege escalation, organizations may require reauthentication of individuals in other situations, including (but not limited to) the following circumstances:
(i) When authenticators change;
(ii) When roles change;
(iii) When security categories of information systems change;
(iv) When the execution of privileged functions occurs;
(v) After a fixed period of time; or
(vi) Periodically.
Within the DoW, the minimum circumstances requiring reauthentication are privilege escalation and role changes.
