Check: FGFW-ND-000080
Fortinet FortiGate Firewall NDM STIG:
FGFW-ND-000080
(in versions v1 r4 through v1 r2)
Title
The FortiGate device must generate audit records for privileged activities or other system-level access. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Without generating audit records 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
Log in to the FortiGate GUI with Super-Admin privilege. 1. Open a CLI console, via SSH or available from the GUI. 2. Run the following command: # show full-configuration log eventfilter | grep -i 'event\|system' The output should be: set event enable set system enable If the event and system parameters are set to disable, this is a finding.
Fix Text
When Event Logging is enabled, the device will audit privileged activities or other system-level access. To enable event logging, log in to the FortiGate GUI with Super-Admin privilege. 1. Open a CLI console, via SSH or available from the GUI. 2. Run the following command: # config log eventfilter # set event enable # set system enable # end
