Virtual Machine Manager SRG: SRG-OS-000472-VMM-001920 (in versions v2 r2 through v1 r3)

Title

The VMM 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 VMM (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check Content
