Supports remote access, authentication, authorization, secure channels, third-party access and monitoring by ensuring that remote user authentication is governed and implemented consistently, reducing unauthorized access, network attack exposure, service disruption, and security control gaps.
Document the required control objective and scope; assign an accountable owner; define approved standards and configurations; implement the control across applicable network environments; integrate it with monitoring and change management; retain evidence; and review effectiveness periodically. For remote user authentication, require strong authentication for the relevant network access or communication.
