Vulnerability discussion

Without the ability to centrally manage the content captured in the audit records, identification, troubleshooting, and correlation of suspicious behavior would be difficult and could lead to a delayed or incomplete analysis of an ongoing attack.This requirement requires that the content captured in audit records be managed from a central location (necessitating automation). Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records. Application components requiring centralized audit log management must have the capability to support centralized management.This requirement applies to centralized management applications or similar types of applications designed to manage and configure audit record capture.

Check content

If the Mainframe Product does not perform audit data management or storage function this is not applicable. Examine configuration settings. Determine if the Mainframe Product provides centralized management of the capture content for all components. If it does not, this is a finding.

Configure the Mainframe Product to provide centralized management and configuration of the content to be captured in audit records generated by all application components.

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.
