Description
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1b

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 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-255139r959010_chk)

Review the configuration to determine if the Samsung Android devices are disallowing passwords containing more than four repeating or sequential characters. This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device. On the management tool, in the device password policies, verify "minimum password quality" is set to "Numeric(Complex)" or better. On the Samsung Android device: 1. Open Settings >> Lock screen >> Screen lock type. 2. Enter current password. 3. Tap "PIN". 4. Verify that PINS with more than four repeating or sequential numbers are not accepted. If on the management tool "minimum password quality" is not set to "Numeric(Complex)" or better, or on the Samsung Android device a password with more than four repeating or sequential numbers is accepted, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-58696r867353_fix)

Configure the Samsung Android devices to disallow passwords containing more than four repeating or sequential characters. On the management tool, in the device password policies, set "minimum password quality" to "Numeric(Complex)" or better. If the management tool does not support "Numeric(Complex)" but does support "Numeric", KPE can be used to achieve STIG compliance. In this case, configure this policy with value "Numeric" and use an additional KPE policy (innately by the management tool or via KSP) "Maximum Numeric Sequence Length" with value "4".
