Check: CISR-ND-000124
Cisco IOS XE Release 3 NDM STIG:
CISR-ND-000124
(in versions v1 r5 through v1 r4)
Title
The Cisco IOS XE router must generate audit records for privileged activities or other system-level access. (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 network device (e.g., module or policy filter).
Check Content
Review the Cisco IOS XE router configuration to determine if it automatically audits privileged activities. 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 privileged activities are not automatically audited, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Cisco IOS XE router for auditing. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging userinfo archive log config logging enable logging size 1000 notify syslog contenttype plaintext hidekeys
