Check: SRG-OS-000064-VMM-000320

Virtual Machine Manager SRG: SRG-OS-000064-VMM-000320 (in versions v2 r2 through v1 r3)

Title

The VMM must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur. (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., guest VM, module, or policy filter).

Check Content

Verify the VMM generates audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the VMM to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur.
