Password Protection against Brute Force Attacks

Brute force attacks are attempts made by a computer program to crack the password of anoth-
er program or tool, by trying all possible combinations of letters and numbers.
To protect against unauthorized access, remote access logon to WBM is monitored. Users are
permitted five attempts over five minutes to enter the correct password. If this time expires or
the password is entered incorrectly five times, remote access is blocked.
The system's event log records the password input attempts.
