Application Security and Development Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The application must use multifactor (Alt. Token) authentication for local access to privileged accounts.

    <VulnDiscussion>Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentication and access. Factors include: (i) som...

  • The application must use multifactor (e.g., CAC, Alt. Token) authentication for local access to non-privileged accounts.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To assure accountability, prevent unauthenticated access, and prevent misuse of the system, privileged users must utilize mul...

  • The application must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authen...
