By automatically terminating sessions you reduce the risk of an attacker gaining access to a user's session.
Example CMMC 1.0 AC.3.019 Implementation:
Define a condition when user sessions are automatically terminated. An example is terminating a session after one hour of inactivity. Apply this policy to your system where feasible. Examples include terminating RDP sessions and SSH sessions after 1 hour of inactivity. Automatically terminating VPN sessions is also a good idea.
