Title

The VPN Gateway must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users). (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Lack of authentication and identification enables non-organizational users to gain access to the network or possibly a VPN gateway that provides opportunity for intruders to compromise resources within the network infrastructure. This requirement only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of a non-organizational user.
