Vulnerability discussion

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.

Check content

Determine if the network device is configured to alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure. This requirement can be met by a central audit server if the network device is configured to send audit logs to that audit server. If the ISSO and SA are not being alerted in the event of an audit processing failure, 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.
