Title

AAA Services must be configured to automatically audit account disabling actions. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

When application accounts are disabled, user accessibility is affected. Once an attacker establishes access to an application, the attacker often attempts to disable authorized accounts to disrupt services or prevent the implementation of countermeasures. Auditing account disabling actions provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes.

Check Content

Verify AAA Services are configured to automatically audit account disabling actions. If AAA Services are not configured to automatically audit account disabling actions, this is a finding.
