The operating system must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.
Description
Discussion Text
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system.
Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication.
Factors include:
1) Something you know (e.g., password/PIN);
2) Something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); and
3) Something you are (e.g., biometric).
A nonprivileged account is any information system account with authorizations of a nonprivileged user.
Network access is any access to an application by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) where said access is obtained through a network connection.
The DoW CAC with DoW-approved PKI is an example of multifactor authentication.
