The application must use multifactor authentication (MFA).
Description
Discussion Text
Without the use of MFA, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased.
MFA requires the use of two or more factors to achieve authentication.
Factors include:
(i) Something a user knows (e.g., password/PIN);
(ii) Something a user has (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or
(iii) Something a user is (e.g., biometric).
The current DoW multifactor solution is the common access card (CAC). Other DoW or authorizing official (AO)-approved solutions may be implemented.
