Fix Recommendation

Configure AAA Services to require multifactor authentication using PIV credentials for authenticating privileged user accounts. Although the CAC is a PIV credential, it should not be used for privileged accounts, but rather only for non-privileged accounts.

Check Contents

Verify AAA Services are configured to require multifactor authentication using PIV credentials for authenticating privileged user accounts. Although the Common Access Card (CAC) is a PIV credential, it should not be used for privileged accounts, but rather only for non-privileged accounts. Administrative smart cards and tokens, separate from the CAC, are the preferred solution for privileged accounts.

If AAA Services are not configured to require multifactor authentication using PIV credentials for authenticating privileged user accounts, this is a finding.
