A county finds many computer accounts with machine passwords that have not rotated for an unusually long time. What hygiene theme applies?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Computer accounts have their own secrets that should age out like any other password. When those secrets sit unchanged for ages, abuse windows linger. BitLocker on the disk does not retire the directory machine password problem.
Full Explanation
Domain-joined computers maintain machine account credentials that normally rotate on a schedule. Extremely old machine passwords can signal broken secure channel behavior or increase exposure in certain abuse scenarios. The concern is not limited to niche device types, and disk encryption does not replace machine account hygiene. Assessors should note stale computer password age as AD hygiene awareness.
