Title

The Cisco ASA must be configured to offload audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Check Content

Review the Cisco ASA configuration to verify it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below. logging trap notifications logging host NDM_INTERFACE 10.1.48.10 6/1514 Note: A logging list can be used as an alternative to the severity level. If the Cisco ASA is not configured to offload log records onto a different system than the system being audited, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the Cisco ASA to send log records to a syslog server as shown in the example below. ASA(config)# logging host NDM_INTERFACE 10.1.48.10 6/1514 ASA(config)# logging trap notifications ASA(config)# end
