Vulnerability discussion

To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational users include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status of employees (e.g., contractors). Organizational users (and any processes acting on behalf of users) must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all accesses, except the following.(i) Accesses explicitly identified and documented by the organization. Organizations document specific user actions that can be performed on the information system without identification or authentication; and (ii) Accesses that occur through authorized use of group authenticators without individual authentication. Organizations may require unique identification of individuals in group accounts (e.g., shared privilege accounts) or for detailed accountability of individual activity.

Check content

Review the Trend Deep Security server configuration to ensure organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users) are uniquely identified and authenticated. Verify the user accounts under Administration >> User Management >> Users If the accounts configured do not uniquely specify the organizational user's affiliation, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the Trend Deep Security server to uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users). Configure the appropriate affiliation display for the specified user under Administration >> User Management >> Users Right click the user account. Click "Properties" and Select “User Name”. Enter the appropriate user identifiers.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
