CMMC 1.0 Practice IA.2.081 Requirement:
Store and transmit only cryptographically protected passwords.
CMMC 1.0 IA.2.081 Requirement Explanation:
If an attacker gets a hold of an unencrypted password he can gain access to your systems. By storing them as a one way hash it is more difficult for an attacker to use them.
Example CMMC 1.0 IA.2.081 Implementation:
Ensure that your passwords are stored on your systems using a "one-way hash". Many systems such as Active Directory do this be default. Confirm that your systems are in fact storing your password cryptographically.
CMMC 1.0 IA.2.081 Scenario(s):
- Scenario 1:
Your company's systems use active directory for authentication. Active directory stores passwords as one-way hashes and transmits them in an encrypted format.
