Ensure passwords are controlled by password attributes

ÉlevéeNiveau 1Automatiséeaix

Description

Ensure passwords are required to pass password attribute controls. If password restrictions are not enforced for some accounts, those accounts represent a much greater risk of being compromised by an attacker as they may have weaker passwords vulnerable to brute force attack or provide an indefinite window of opportunity ... Audit: automated read-only check derived from the CIS audit procedure; it prints "compliant" when the control is met.
