The Mainframe Product must use multifactor authentication for local access to nonprivileged accounts.
Description
Discussion Text
To ensure accountability, prevent unauthenticated access, and prevent misuse of the system, nonprivileged users must use multifactor authentication for local access.
Multifactor authentication is defined as: Using 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).
A nonprivileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a regular or nonprivileged user.
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.
Applications integrating with the DoW Active Directory and using the DoW CAC are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions.
