Unified Endpoint Management Server SRG: SRG-APP-000165-UEM-000095 (in versions v2 r3 through v1 r1)

Title

The UEM server must prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To meet password policy requirements, passwords need to be changed at specific policy-based intervals. If the information system or application allows the user to consecutively reuse their password when that password has exceeded its defined lifetime, the end result is a password that is not changed as per policy requirements.
