Title

Symantec ProxySG providing user access control intermediary services must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the system. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter). This requirement applies to the ALG traffic management functions such as content filtering or intermediary services. This does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device (device management).

Check Content

Verify that the ProxySG is configured to generate alerts for successful/unsuccessful logon attempts. 1. Log on to the Web Management Console. 2. Browse to "Configuration" and click "Access Logging". Verify that "Enable Access Logging" is checked. 3. Click Policy >> Visual Policy Manager >> Launch. 4. For each Web Access Layer, verify that each rule has a value other than "none" in the "Track" column. If Symantec ProxySG providing user access control intermediary services does not generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the system, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the ProxySG to generate alerts for successful/unsuccessful logon attempts. 1. Log on to the Web Management Console. 2. Browse to "Configuration" and click "Access Logging".

For each Web Access and Web Authentication Layer, right-click the "Track" column for each rule and select "Set". Click "New" and select "Event Log".
