Description
Account management by a designated authority ensures access to network elements is being controlled in a secured manner by granting access to only authorized personnel with the appropriate and necessary privileges. Auditing account creation and modification, along with an automatic notification to appropriate individuals, will provide the necessary reconciliation that account management procedures are being followed. It is also vital that the disablement of accounts is monitored to ensure that authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required. Notifying the individual whose account has been disabled will provide an alert so that the account can be reenabled if it had been disabled by mistake. This requirement is applicable to network device management and is not applicable to the routing function.
