Title

The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check Content

Review the Cisco ASA configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging enable logging buffered informational Note: The ASA will log all login attempts as well as the name of the user entering the enable command. If the Cisco ASA is not configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to logon, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the Cisco ASA as shown in the example below. ASA(config)# logging enable ASA(config)# logging buffered informational ASA(config)# end
