Discussion
By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the account.
Check Content
Determine if the container platform is configured to automatically lock an account until the locked account is released by an administrator when three unsuccessful login attempts in 15 minutes are exceeded. If the container platform is not configured to lock the account, this is a finding.
