(in version v1 r1)
Title
The Cisco ISR 4000 Series router must generate audit log events for a locally developed list of auditable events. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.

Fix Text
