Title

The UEM server must notify system administrators and the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) when accounts are modified. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

When application accounts are modified, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual users or for identifying the application processes themselves. Sending notification of account modification events to the system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that application accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and also provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. To address access requirements, many operating systems can be integrated with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements.

Check Content

Requirement is Not Applicable when UEM server is configured to use DoD Central Directory Service for administrator account authentication. Verify the UEM server notifies system administrators and the ISSO when accounts are modified. If the UEM server does not notify system administrators and the ISSO when accounts are modified, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the UEM server to notify system administrators and the ISSO when accounts are modified.
