Benchmark: 8.6.3: 3 Passwords/passphrases for any application and system accounts are protected against misuse
Description
Systems and application accounts pose more inherent security risk than user accounts because they often run in an elevated security context, with access to systems that may not be typically granted to user accounts, such as programmatic access to databases, etc. As a result, special consideration must be made to protect passwords/passphrases used for application and system accounts.
