Assessment Title
Rule Text
The DBMS must use multifactor authentication for access to user 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).
The DBMS must be configured to automatically utilize organization-level account management functions, and these functions must immediately enforce the organization's current account policy.
The lack of multifactor authentication makes it much easier for an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a system.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the successor protocol to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Although the Oracle configuration parameters have names that include "SSL", such as SSL_VERSION and SSL_CIPHER_SUITES, they refer to TLS.
Use authentication to prove the identities of users who are attempting to log on to the database. Oracle Database enables strong authentication with Oracle authentication adapters that support various third-party authentication services, including TLS with digital certificates, as well as Smart Cards (CAC, PIV).
