Description

Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password is, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised.

Check Text ( C-66565r1_chk )
Review the Trend Deep Security server configuration to ensure password complexity is enforced by requiring that at least one upper-case character be used. Verify the values for password complexity. If the "User password requires both upper-and lower-case characters" value for password complexity under the Administration >> System Settings >> Security tab has not been set, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71993r1_fix)
Configure the Trend Deep Security server to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used. Enable the checkbox for the "User password requires both upper-and lower-case characters" policy value for password complexity under the Administration >> System Settings >> Security tab.
