Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.

PR.AA-03 partial match
