Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Training on authentication mechanisms and best practices decreases the occurrence of improper authentication.
Mandating documentation of security requirements for exchanges includes specifying and enforcing authentication mechanisms between systems.
Implementation guidance and monitoring requirements force proper authentication mechanisms for VoIP endpoints and sessions.
Mandates cryptographic protection of the wireless medium, eliminating cleartext transmission of sensitive information over the air.
Detects unauthorized successful logons resulting from improper authentication implementations.
Documented procedures ensure personnel are trained on authentication mechanisms, tangibly lowering the risk of improper authentication being exploited.
Security awareness training instructs users on secure authentication practices and avoiding credential compromise.
Non-repudiation requires strong authentication mechanisms to irrefutably attribute performed actions to specific individuals or processes.
