Akamai KSD Service Impact Level 2 NDM STIG:
AKSD-DM-000013
(in version v1 r1)
Title
The Akamai Luna Portal must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the SAs and ISSO when accounts are modified. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply modify an existing account. Notification of account modification is one method for mitigating this risk. A comprehensive account management process will ensure an audit trail that documents the modification of device administrator accounts and notifies the SAs and ISSO. Such a process greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be surreptitiously modified and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. The network device must generate the alert. Notification may be done by a management server.
