Riverbed NetProfiler STIG:
RINP-DM-000004
(in versions v2 r1 through v1 r1)
Title
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to automatically generate DOD-required audit records with sufficient information to support incident reporting to a central log server. (Cat I impact)
Discussion
Auditing can be disabled in the NetProfiler. The aggregation of log data kept on a syslog server can be used to detect attacks and trigger an alert to the appropriate security personnel. Upon gaining access to a network device, an attacker often attempts to create or change accounts to ensure continued access. Audit records and alerts with sufficient information to provide the information system security officer (ISSO) with forensic information about the incident can alert administrators to an ongoing attack attempt. The Riverbed NetProfiler audit log generates sufficient information by default to fulfill DOD requirements when the audit setting "Log all Audit Events" is selected. Sites may also fine-tune using the "Log custom set of audit events" and selecting applicable settings; however, this method may fail to capture all required audit records.
