  • SRG-APP-000810

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The DBMS must prevent the installation of organization-defined software and firmware components without verification that the component has been digitally signed using a certificate recognized and approved by the organization.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Software and firmware components prevented from installation unless signed with recognized and approved certificates include ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000815

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The DBMS must require users to be individually authenticated before granting access to the shared accounts or resources.

  • SRG-APP-000820

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The DBMS must implement multifactor authentication for local; network; and/or remote access to privileged accounts; and/or nonprivileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The purpose of requiring a device that is separate from the system to which the user is attempting to gain access for one of ...
