Vulnerability discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, 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 information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check content

Determine if the network device generates audit records showing starting and ending time for administrator access to the system. If the network device does not generate audit records showing starting and ending time for administrator access to the system, this is a finding. Verify by reviewing log files to show start and end times for administrator access to the system via the "show logging" command.

Fix text

Configure the network device to generate audit records showing starting and ending time for administrator access to the system. Enable logging level 6 to ensure this event is captured. Switch(config)#logging trap 6 switch(config)#logging level all 6

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.
