Discussion
In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know the source of the event. The source may be a component, module, or process within the device or an external session, administrator, or device. Associating information about where the source of the event occurred provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured device.
Check Content
Determine if the network device is configured to produce audit records containing information to establish the source (apparent cause) of the event. If the network device does not produce audit records containing information to establish the source of the event, this is a finding.
