Discussion

By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.

Check Content

In the ICS Web UI, navigate to Authentication >> Auth Servers >> Administrators.
1. Under the section "Account Lockout", verify "Enable Account Lockout for users" is checked.
2. Under the section "Account Lockout", verify "Maximum wrong password attempts" is set to "3".
3. Under the section "Account Lockout", verify "Account Lockout Period in Minutes" is set to "15".

If the ICS must be configured to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts, after which time it must block any login attempt for 15 minutes, this is a finding.
