The DBMS must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.
Description
Discussion Text
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 non-privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a regular or non-privileged user.
Network access is defined as access to an information system by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network (e.g., local area network, wide area network, Internet).
The lack of multifactor authentication makes it much easier for an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a system.
