Title

User and Device Authentication

Control

 Require a device password/passcode and/or other authentication (e.g., token-based authentication, network-based device authentication, domain authentication) before accessing the organization’s resources. This includes basic parameters for password strength and a limit on the number of retries permitted without negative consequences (e.g., locking out the account, wiping the device).

 If device account lockout is enabled or the device password/passcode is forgotten, an administrator can reset this remotely to restore access to the device.

 Have the device automatically lock itself after it is idle for a period (e.g., 5 minutes).

 Under the direction of an administrator, remotely lock the device if it is suspected that the device has been left in an unlocked state in an unsecured location.
