Vulnerability discussion

Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password is, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised.

Check content

Review the Trend Deep Security server configuration to ensure password complexity is enforced by requiring that at least one upper-case character be used. Verify the values for password complexity. If the "User password requires both upper-and lower-case characters" value for password complexity under the Administration >> System Settings >> Security tab has not been set, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the Trend Deep Security server to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used. Enable the checkbox for the "User password requires both upper-and lower-case characters" policy value for password complexity under the Administration >> System Settings >> Security tab.

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.
