Description
To ensure accountability, prevent unauthenticated access, and prevent misuse of the system, non-privileged users must utilize multi-factor 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 non-privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a regular or non-privileged 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.

Check Text ( C-36018r598882_chk )
Review the container platform configuration to determine if multifactor authentication is used for local access to non-privileged accounts. If multifactor authentication for local access to non-privileged accounts is not being used, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-35986r598883_fix)
Configure the container platform to use multifactor authentication for local access to non-privileged accounts.
