Quest NC-Pass will be used by Highly-Sensitive users.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>DISA has directed that Quest NC-Pass extended authentication be implemented on all domains. All users with update and alter access to sensitive system-level data sets and resources, or who possess special security privileges, are required to use NC-Pass for extended authentication. Typical personnel required to use NC-Pass include, but are not limited to, systems programming, security, operations, network/communications, storage management, and production control. Improper enforcement of extended authentication through NC-Pass could potentially compromise the operating system, ACP, and customer data.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
