Vulnerability discussion

Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse, and identify the risk from insider threats and the advanced persistent threat.

Check content

Review the Trend Deep Security server to ensure the execution of privileged functions are audited. Interview the ISSO for a list of functions identified as privileged within the application “System Events.” Privileged functions within the system events will include but are not limited to: Computer Created, Computer Deleted, User Added, etc.). Verify the list against the Administration >> System Settings >> System Events tab. If the events are not to Record and Forward, this is a finding.

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.
