The VMM must disable local account identifiers (individuals, groups, roles, and devices) after 35 days of inactivity.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Inactive identifiers pose a risk to systems and applications because attackers may exploit an inactive identifier and potentially obtain undetected access to the system. Owners of inactive accounts will not notice if unauthorized access to their user account has been obtained. VMMs need to track periods of inactivity and disable local account identifiers after 35 days of inactivity.
