Description
Without reauthentication, users may access resources or perform tasks for which they do not have authorization. When applications provide the capability to change security roles or escalate the functional capability of the application, it is critical the user reauthenticate. In addition to the reauthentication requirements associated with session locks, organizations may require reauthentication of individuals and/or devices in other situations, including (but not limited to) the following circumstances. (i) When authenticators change; (ii) When roles change; (iii) When security categories of information systems change; (iv) When the execution of privileged functions occurs; (v) After a fixed period of time; or (vi) Periodically. Within the DOD, the minimum circumstances requiring reauthentication are privilege escalation and role changes.

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-273203r1099958_chk)

From the Admin Console: 1. Select Security >> Global Session Policy. 2. In the Default Policy, verify a rule is configured at Priority 1 that is not named "Default Rule". 3. Click the "Edit" icon next to the Priority 1 rule. 4. Verify "Maximum Okta global session lifetime" is set to 18 hours. If the above is not set, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-77199r1098875_fix)

From the Admin Console: 1. Go to Security >> Global Session Policy. 2. Select the Default Policy. 3. In the Rules table, make these updates: - Click "Add rule". - Set "Maximum Okta global session lifetime" to 18 hours.
