(in versions v4 r3 through v2 r7)
Title
The network device must produce audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done, what was attempted, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom it was done in order to compile an accurate risk assessment. Associating event types with detected events in the application and audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured network device. Without this capability, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.
Check Content
Determine if the network device produces audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred. If the network device does not produce audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the network device to produce audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred.
