Title

The container platform must notify system administrators and ISSO for account removal actions. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

When application accounts are removed, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying users or for identifying the application processes themselves. Sending notification of account removal events to the system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that application accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time, and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. To address access requirements, many operating systems can be integrated with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements.

Check Content

Review the container platform configuration to determine if system administrators and ISSO are notified when accounts are removed. If system administrators and ISSO are not notified, this is a finding.
