Title
The Cisco IOS XE router must automatically audit account removal. (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 removal actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are terminated, 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 Cisco IOS XE router configuration to determine if it automatically audits account removal. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging userinfo archive log config logging enable logging size 1000 notify syslog contenttype plaintext hidekeys If account removal is not automatically audited, this is a finding.
