| When temporary and emergency accounts are created, there is a risk the temporary account may remain in place and active after the need for the account no longer exists. To address this, in the event temporary accounts are required, accounts designated as temporary in nature must be automatically terminated after an organization-defined time period. Such a process and capability greatly reduces the risk of accounts being misused, hijacked, or data compromised. Applicable, but permanent not-a-finding - There is only 1 local account on ESXi-v5 (root). All other accounts are Active Directory. The root account is locked out in Lockdown Mode (a requirement). There are no temporary accounts. |
