Title
The network device must automatically audit account removal actions. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account removal actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are terminated, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.
Check Content
Check the network device to determine if account removal actions are automatically audited. This requirement may be verified by demonstration, configuration review, or validated test results. This requirement may be met through use of a properly configured authentication server if the device is configured to use the authentication server. If account removal actions are not automatically audited, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the network device or its associated authentication server to automatically audit the removal of accounts.
