| Description |
| Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With robust centralized management, audit records for administrator account access to the organization's RUCKUS ICX devices can be more readily analyzed for trends and anomalies. The alternative method of defining administrator accounts on each device exposes the device configuration to remote access authentication attacks and system administrators with multiple authenticators for each RUCKUS ICX device. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000336, SRG-APP-000700-NDM-000100, SRG-APP-000705-NDM-000110 |
