Multifactor Authentication – Meeting IA-2 Controls

    IA-2(3) states the following –
    The information system implements multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts. (3) IDENTIFICATION AND AUTHENTICATION | LOCAL ACCESS TO PRIVILEGED ACCOUNTS

    With this in mind I assume the control makes no distinction between Local Area Access (local network access from within the same IS system) or network access coming in from external networks. Is the assumption correct that you would apply the same measure of Multifactor Authentication to either scenario?

    Thank You!

      I believe that your assumption is correct. But, your explanation that this is internal comms within the IS makes me second guess myself. Not sure you would classify internal comms within the IS as “network access” since these controls relate to access to the IS, not within.

      Yes,

      I should have been clearer I mean local network access, networks that are directly connected to the IS.

      In that case I am not as conflicted. I believe the multifactor measure would definitely apply.

      The engineering team that I work with have gone round-and-round over over this topic. We concur with the multifactor response. We don’t believe their is a specific solution for all technologies, e.g. local physical access to a router. Physical security measures with specific processes may be the correct solution for certain problems.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
