Unauthorized software not only increases risk by increasing the number of potential vulnerabilities, it also can contain malicious code. Sending an alert (in real time) when unauthorized software is detected allows designated personnel to take action on the installation of unauthorized software. Note that while the device must generate the alert, the notification may be done by a management server.
Determine if the network device generates an alert when the unauthorized installation of software is detected. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. The management/audit server that the network device sends alerts to would typically perform the function of sending these alerts to specific individuals. If the network device does not generate an alert when the unauthorized installation of software is detected, this is a finding.
Configure the network device to generate an alert when the unauthorized installation of software is detected.
