Policy: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 02 - Identity > 02.06 - Ensure that account 'Lockout Threshold' is less than or equal to '10'

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

The account lockout threshold determines how many failed login attempts are permitted prior to placing the account in a locked-out state and initiating a variable lockout duration.

Account lockout is a method of protecting against brute-force and password spray attacks. Once the lockout threshold has been exceeded, the account enters a locked-out state which prevents all login attempts for a variable duration. The lockout in combination with a reasonable duration reduces the total number of failed login attempts that a malicious actor can execute in a given period of time.
