The Mainframe Product must use multifactor authentication for local access to nonprivileged accounts.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>To ensure accountability, prevent unauthenticated access, and prevent misuse of the system, nonprivileged users must use multifactor authentication for local access. 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). A nonprivileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a regular or nonprivileged user. Local access is defined as access to an organizational information system by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a direct connection without the use of a network. Applications integrating with the DOD Active Directory and using the DOD CAC are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
