Title

The application must use multifactor authentication for local access to privileged accounts. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Multifactor authentication is defined as: using two or more factors to achieve authentication. Factors include: (i) something a user knows (e.g., password/PIN); (ii) something a user has (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or (iii) something a user is (e.g., biometric). A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user. Local Access is defined as access to an organizational information system by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a direct connection without the use of a network. Rationale for non-applicability: This SRG applies to single-user applications. These users do not have privileged accounts.
