To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, nonprivileged 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: (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 an application by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) where said access is obtained through a network connection. Applications integrating with the DoW Active Directory and using the DoW CAC are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions.
Verify AAA Services are configured to require multifactor authentication using CAC PIV credentials for authenticating non-privileged user accounts. If AAA Services are not configured to require multifactor authentication using CAC PIV credentials for authenticating non-privileged user accounts, this is a finding.
Configure AAA Services to require multifactor authentication using CAC PIV credentials for authenticating non-privileged user accounts.
