Ongoing reviews detect and remove sensitive system information before it reaches publicly accessible systems.
Employs detection to prevent unauthorized mining of sensitive system information from being exfiltrated to external control spheres.
Training instructs users on protecting credentials from disclosure or unauthorized access.
Training records for security awareness and role-based training verify education on credential protection practices, tangibly reducing risks from mishandling or exposing credentials.
Documenting where system information is processed and stored prevents exposure to unauthorized control spheres.
Protecting authenticator content from unauthorized disclosure and modification while requiring protective controls addresses insufficiently protected credentials.
The control stops sensitive system information from crossing into unauthorized control spheres through EM emanations.
Rules of behavior include credential protection and non-sharing requirements, reducing exposure of insufficiently protected credentials.
