Title

The ISSO must ensure the alarm message identifying the potential security violation makes accessible the audit record contents associated with the event(s). (Cat III impact)

Discussion

The relevant audit information must be available to administrators. The firewall shall immediately display an alarm message, identifying the potential security violation and make accessible the audit record contents associated with the event(s) that generated the alarm.

Check Content

Review the firewall configuration to determine what alerts have been defined and how the notifications are performed. The relevant audit information must be available to administrators. The message will not be scrolled off the screen due to other activities taking place (e.g., the Audit Administrator is running an audit report). If the device does not write violations to the console and make accessible the audit record contents, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the firewall to write violations to the console and make accessible the audit record contents.
