Title

The Unified Communications Endpoint must generate audit records for privileged activities or other system-level access. (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 are commonly produced by session management and border elements. Many Unified Communications Endpoints are not capable of providing audit records and instead rely on session management and border elements. Unified Communications Endpoints capable of producing audit records provide supplemental confirmation of monitored events. Unified Communications Endpoints that communicate beyond these defined environments must generate audit records.

Check Content
