3.1 ACCESS CONTROL

3.1.11

Terminate (automatically) a user session after a defined condition

This requirement addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i.e. disconnecting from the network). A logical session (for local network and remote access) is initiated whenever a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) accesses an organizational system. Such user sessions can be terminated (and thus terminate user access) without terminating network sessions. Session termination terminates all processes associated with a user’s logical session except those processes that are specifically created by the user (i.e. session owner) to continue after the session is terminated. Conditions or trigger events requiring automatic session termination can include organization-defined periods of user inactivity targeted responses to certain types of incidents and time-of-day restrictions on system use
