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 for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events. If the network device does not generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events, this is a finding. Verify by reviewing log files to show audit records for account creation, modification, disabling, and termination via the "Show Logging" command.

Fix text

Configure the network device to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events. 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.
