Check: SRG-OS-000339-GPOS-00131
General Purpose Operating System SRG:
SRG-OS-000339-GPOS-00131
(in versions v1 r5 through v1 r5)
Title
The operating system must provide the capability for authorized users to remotely view/hear, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the operating system being monitored. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Without the capability to remotely view/hear all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. Real-time monitoring allows authorized personnel to take action before additional damage is done. The ability to observe user sessions as they are happening allows for interceding in ongoing events that after-the-fact review of captured content would not allow.
Check Content
Verify the operating system provides the capability for authorized users to remotely view/hear, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the operating system being monitored. If it does not, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the operating system to provide the capability for authorized users to remotely view/hear, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the operating system being monitored.
