Assessment Title
Rule Text
The ICS must be configured to use multifactor authentication (e.g., DOD PKI) for network access to nonprivileged accounts.
Description
Discussion Text
To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, nonprivileged users must use multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system.
Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication. Use of password for user remote access for nonprivileged account is not authorized.
Factors include:
(i) Something you know (e.g., password/PIN);
(ii) Something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or
(iii) 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 a network element by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network.
The DOD CAC with DOD-approved PKI is an example of multifactor authentication.
