Description
Attackers that are able to exploit an inactive account can potentially obtain and maintain undetected access to an application. Owners of inactive accounts will not notice if unauthorized access to their user account has been obtained. Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Session Managers must track periods of user inactivity and disable accounts after 35 days of inactivity. Such a process greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be misused, hijacked, or data compromised. DOD has determined that 35 days is the appropriate time period of inactivity for Inactive accounts. Therefore, systems with a per user paradigm of management would apply.
