The network device must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within the network device.
Vulnerability discussion
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., process, module). Certain specific device functionalities may be audited as well. The list of audited events is the set of events for which audits are to be generated. This set of events is typically a subset of the list of all events for which the system is capable of generating audit records.DoD has defined the list of events for which the device will provide an audit record generation capability as the following: (i) Successful and unsuccessful attempts to access, modify, or delete privileges, security objects, security levels, or categories of information (e.g., classification levels);(ii) Access actions, such as successful and unsuccessful logon attempts, privileged activities or other system level access, starting and ending time for user access to the system, concurrent logons from different workstations, successful and unsuccessful accesses to objects, all program initiations, and all direct access to the information system; and(iii) All account creation, modification, disabling, and termination actions.
Check content
Determine if the network device provides audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within the network device. The list of events for which the device will provide an audit record generation capability is outlined in the vulnerability discussion. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. If the network device does not provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within the network device, this is a finding.
Fix text
Configure the network device to provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within the network device.
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.
