CMMC 1.0 Practice IA.1.077 Requirement:
Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.
CMMC 1.0 IA.1.077 Requirement Explanation:
Before you provide access to a person or a device, you need to verify that the user or device is who or what it claims to be. This verification is called authentication. The most common way to verify identity is by using a username and a hard-to-guess password.
Example CMMC 1.0 IA.1.077 Implementation:
Password protect your user accounts, and change any default passwords on your systems.
CMMC 1.0 IA.1.077 Scenario(s):
