Inactivity locks help prevent unauthorized physical access to a system or mobile device and obfuscate sensitive information on the screen.

An inactivity lock must automatically disable access and require a password to unlock after 45 minutes or less of inactivity.

If the IT system is hosted in a Yale Critcal IT Space, this requirement is met.
