Vulnerability discussion

It is critical that when the IDPS is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it takes action to mitigate the failureAudit processing failures include: software/hardware errors; failures in the audit capturing mechanisms; and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Since action must be taken immediately, these messages will be designated as a critical severity level and this level must be sent as part of the alert message.

Check content

Verify the IDPS provides assign a critical severity level to all audit processing failures. If the IDPS does not assign a critical severity level to all audit processing failures, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the IDPS to assign a critical severity level to all audit processing failures.

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.
