Vulnerability discussion

An accurate and current audit trail is essential for maintaining a record of system activity. If the logging system fails, the SA must be notified and must take prompt action to correct the problem. Minimally, the system must log this event and the SA will receive this notification during the daily system log review. If feasible, active alerting (such as e-mail or paging) should be employed consistent with the site's established operations management systems and procedures.

Check content

Interview the ISSO. Determine if logging failure events are monitored, and warnings provided to the ISSO. If logging failure events do not provide warnings in accordance with organization policies, this is a finding. If alerts are not sent or the web server is not configured to use a dedicated logging tool that meets this requirement, this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure logging failures result in warnings to the ISSO and SA at a minimum.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
