The Session Timeout and Re-authentication Configuration feature sets parameters for automatic session timeout and re-authentication requirements. This helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access by ensuring that inactive or unattended sessions are automatically closed, and re-authentication is required for continued access.
Key benefits include:
- Automatic Session Timeout: Defines the idle time duration after which the system will automatically log users out to prevent unauthorized access from unattended sessions.
- Re-authentication: Requires users to authenticate again after the session timeout to ensure that access is only granted to authorized personnel.
- Enhanced Security: Minimizes the risk of unauthorized access by ensuring that inactive sessions cannot remain open indefinitely, thereby protecting sensitive data and system configurations.
This feature supports improved security protocols by reducing the window of opportunity for unauthorized users to access the system.
