Title

The Cisco ASA must be configured to automatically audit account-disabling actions. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account disabling actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are disabled, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.

Check Content

Review the ASA configuration to determine if it automatically audits account disabling. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging enable logging buffered informational Note: The ASA will log all EXEC-mode commands. If account disabling is not automatically audited, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the ASA to log account disabling using the following commands: ASA(config)# logging enable ASA(config)# logging buffered informational ASA(config)# end
