| To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system.
Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication.
Factors include:
(i) Something you know (e.g., password/PIN);
(ii) Something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or
(iii) Something you are (e.g., biometric).
A non-privileged account is any information system account with authorizations of a non-privileged user.
Network access is any access to an application by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) where said access is obtained through a network connection.
Applications integrating with the DoD Active Directory and utilize the DoD CAC are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions. |
