Policy: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 02 - Identity > 02.07 - Ensure that account 'Lockout duration in seconds' is greater than or equal to '60'

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

The account lockout duration value determines how long an account retains the status of lockout, and therefore how long before a user can continue to attempt to login after passing the lockout threshold.

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.
