When external attackers gain access to the credentials of an end user or an administrator, they can impersonate that individual and perform unauthorized actions within a CommCell or a company. Such unauthorized access poses a serious threat to data integrity, privacy, and system availability.
To strengthen protection against these risks, a PIN is generated whenever a user attempts to modify critical security or privacy-related settings. This PIN serves as an additional verification layer to confirm the authenticity of the user initiating the change.
