CCI-002629

Defines the system hardware components that are to detect organization-defined unauthorized operating system commands through the kernel programming application interface.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if [SI-03(08)_ODP[01]; system hardware components for which unauthorized operating system commands are to be detected through the kernel application programming interface are defined] are detected through the kernel application programming interface on [SI-03(08)_ODP[02]; unauthorized operating system commands to be detected are defined].

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and information integrity policy; system and information integrity procedures; procedures addressing malicious code protection; system design documentation; malicious code protection mechanisms; warning messages sent upon the detection of unauthorized operating system command execution; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system audit records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system developers; organizational personnel installing, configuring, and/or maintaining the system; organizational personnel responsible for malicious code protection]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Mechanisms supporting and/or implementing malicious code protection capabilities; mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the detection of unauthorized operating system commands through the kernel application programming interface].
