CCI-000206

The information system obscures feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization being inspected/assessed must comply with the STIG/SRG guidance that pertains to CCI 206.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization conducting the inspection/assessment evaluates the components to ensure that the organization being inspected/assessed has configured the information system in compliance with the applicable STIGs and SRGs pertaining to CCI 206.
