Lack of multi-factor authentication

Description

Critical services of the system, such as databases, shared resources containing sensitive information and web services, are not protected by a multi-factor authentication mechanism. This makes it easier for an attacker who has compromised a user's account to access those resources.

Impact

Multi-factor authentication is flawed to the point where it can be bypassed entirely.

Recommendation

Implement a double factor authentication by software or hardware to increase the protection level of the resources authentication.

Threat

Authenticated attacker from the Internet.

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ 15 minutes.
