Category: Operational
Title: Implement training for protecting authenticators
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization implement proper training to ensure that your users take measures to safeguard authenticators consistent with your organization's requirements. Microsoft recommends that your organization create and maintain Identification and Authentication policies and standard operating procedures that include information about your organization's requirements for safeguarding authenticators and details about the best practices your users should take to safeguard their authenticators (e.g., passwords, tokens, smart cards, PKI certificates, etc.).
Requirements: The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation.

Ensure that all administrators are notified if any other administrator resets their password. link 10
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 1.10 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_1.10 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 1.10 1 Ensure That 'Notify all admins when other admins reset their password?' is set to 'Yes' Shared All Global Administrators will receive a notification from Azure every time a password is reset. This is useful for auditing procedures to confirm that there are no out of the ordinary password resets for Global Administrators. There is additional overhead, however, in the time required for Global Administrators to audit the notifications. This setting is only useful if all Global Administrators pay attention to the notifications, and audit each one. Ensure that all Global Administrators are notified if any other administrator resets their password. Global Administrator accounts are sensitive. Any password reset activity notification, when sent to all Global Administrators, ensures that all Global administrators can passively confirm if such a reset is a common pattern within their group. For example, if all Global Administrators change their password every 30 days, any password reset activity before that may require administrator(s) to evaluate any unusual activity and confirm its origin. link 10
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 1.9 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_1.9 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 1.9 1 Ensure that 'Notify users on password resets?' is set to 'Yes' Shared Users will receive emails alerting them to password changes to both their primary and secondary emails. Ensure that users are notified on their primary and secondary emails on password resets. User notification on password reset is a proactive way of confirming password reset activity. It helps the user to recognize unauthorized password reset activities. link 5
FedRAMP_High_R4 IA-5 FedRAMP_High_R4_IA-5 FedRAMP High IA-5 Identification And Authentication Authenticator Management Shared n/a The organization manages information system authenticators by: a. Verifying, as part of the initial authenticator distribution, the identity of the individual, group, role, or device receiving the authenticator; b. Establishing initial authenticator content for authenticators defined by the organization; c. Ensuring that authenticators have sufficient strength of mechanism for their intended use; d. Establishing and implementing administrative procedures for initial authenticator distribution, for lost/compromised or damaged authenticators, and for revoking authenticators; e. Changing default content of authenticators prior to information system installation; f. Establishing minimum and maximum lifetime restrictions and reuse conditions for authenticators; g. Changing/refreshing authenticators [Assignment: organization-defined time period by authenticator type]; h. Protecting authenticator content from unauthorized disclosure and modification; i. Requiring individuals to take, and having devices implement, specific security safeguards to protect authenticators; and j. Changing authenticators for group/role accounts when membership to those accounts changes. Supplemental Guidance: Individual authenticators include, for example, passwords, tokens, biometrics, PKI certificates, and key cards. Initial authenticator content is the actual content (e.g., the initial password) as opposed to requirements about authenticator content (e.g., minimum password length). In many cases, developers ship information system components with factory default authentication credentials to allow for initial installation and configuration. Default authentication credentials are often well known, easily discoverable, and present a significant security risk. The requirement to protect individual authenticators may be implemented via control PL-4 or PS-6 for authenticators in the possession of individuals and by controls AC-3, AC-6, and SC-28 for authenticators stored within organizational information systems (e.g., passwords stored in hashed or encrypted formats, files containing encrypted or hashed passwords accessible with administrator privileges). Information systems support individual authenticator management by organization-defined settings and restrictions for various authenticator characteristics including, for example, minimum password length, password composition, validation time window for time synchronous one-time tokens, and number of allowed rejections during the verification stage of biometric authentication. Specific actions that can be taken to safeguard authenticators include, for example, maintaining possession of individual authenticators, not loaning or sharing individual authenticators with others, and reporting lost, stolen, or compromised authenticators immediately. Authenticator management includes issuing and revoking, when no longer needed, authenticators for temporary access such as that required for remote maintenance. Device authenticators include, for example, certificates and passwords. Related controls: AC-2, AC-3, AC-6, CM-6, IA-2, IA-4, IA-8, PL-4, PS-5, PS-6, SC-12, SC-13, SC-17, SC-28.
