Login securty requirments Merged

On the V7000 one can log in as many times as you want without worrying about a lockout. These units are being used at the nuclear facility at FPL and they are worried about a hacker constantly hitting these until they find a password. As you know within the DS8000 product line you try to log in three times unsuccessfully and the console and user will be locked out. Is there any way to get the V7000 to have a feature like this?
