The HYCU VM console and HYCU Web UI must be configured to use an authentication server for authenticating users prior to granting access to protect against an individual (or process acting on behalf of an individual) falsely denying having performed organization-defined requirements.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is a particularly important protection against the insider threat. This requirement supports non-repudiation of actions taken by an individual and is required in order to maintain the integrity of the configuration management process. With robust centralized management, audit records for administrator account access to the organization's network devices can be more readily analyzed for trends and anomalies. The alternative method of defining administrator accounts on each device exposes the device configuration to remote access authentication attacks and system administrators with multiple authenticators for each network device.
