CISR-ND-000027
(in version v1 r1)
Title
The Cisco ISR 4000 Series router must produce audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done, what was attempted, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom it was done in order to compile an accurate risk assessment. Associating event types with detected events in the application and audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured network device. Without this capability, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.
