Title

The application must notify the user of the number of unsuccessful login/access attempts occurring during an organization-defined time period. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Users need to be aware of activity that occurs regarding their application account. Providing users with information regarding the number of unsuccessful attempts made to login to their account allows the user to determine if any unauthorized activity has occurred and gives them an opportunity to notify administrators. This requirement is intended to cover both traditional logons to information systems and general accesses to information systems occurring in other types of architectural configurations (e.g., service oriented architectures). In order to inform the user of the number of unsuccessful login attempts made with the users account. Rationale for non-applicability: This control is required in the MOS SRG. Mobile applications do not have additional authentication requirements. If the mobile application connects to a remote enterprise application, the remote application can provide any required notifications.
