Description
Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. Multifactor authentication requires 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. Network access is defined as access to an information system by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network (e.g., local area network, wide area network, or the internet).

Check Text (C-276010r1122680_chk)

Have the system administrator (SA) demonstrate logging in to the Axonius host via Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Verify the SA is using a password-protected Secure Shell (SSH) key to log in to the system. If the SA is not using a password-protected SSH key to log in to the system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-80053r1122679_fix)

From the Axonius Toolbox (accessed via SSH) Main Actions Menu, select the following options: System Actions >> Update files account SSH key Follow the on-screen prompts to configure key-based authentication.
