CISR-ND-000031
(in versions v1 r5 through v1 r4)
Title
The Cisco IOS XE router must produce audit records that contain information to establish the outcome of the event. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
Without information about the outcome of events, security personnel cannot make an accurate assessment as to whether an attack was successful or if changes were made to the security state of the system. Event outcomes can include indicators of event success or failure and event-specific results (e.g., the security state of the device after the event occurred). As such, they also provide a means to measure the impact of an event and help authorized personnel to determine the appropriate response.
