Vulnerability discussion

Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies will be impeded.The IDPS generates an immediate (within seconds) alert which notifies designated personnel of the incident. Sending a message to an unattended log or console does not meet this requirement since that will not be seen immediately. These messages should include a severity level indicator or code as an indicator of the criticality of the incident.

Check content

Verify the IDPS sends an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the SCA when malicious code is detected. If the IDPS does not send an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the SCA when malicious code is detected, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the IDPS to send an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the SCA when malicious code is detected.

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.
