AC-17(1)

AC-17(1): Automated Monitoring / Control

The information system monitors and controls remote access methods.

Supplemental

Automated monitoring and control of remote access sessions allows organizations to detect cyber attacks and also ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies by auditing connection activities of remote users on a variety of information system components (e.g., servers, workstations, notebook computers, smart phones, and tablets).

The controls below (if any) were marked by NIST as being related to AC-17(1).

Control	Description
AU-2	The organization: a: Determines that the information system is capable of auditing the following events: [organization-defined auditable events]; b: Coordinates the security audit function with other organizational entities requiring audit-related information to enhance mutual support and to help guide the selection of auditable events; c: Provides a rationale for why the auditable events are deemed to be adequate to support after-the-fact investigations of security incidents; and d: Determines that the following events are to be audited within the information system: [organization-defined audited events (the subset of the auditable events defined in AU-2 a.) along with the frequency of (or situation requiring) auditing for each identified event].
AU-12	The information system: a: Provides audit record generation capability for the auditable events defined in AU-2 a. at [organization-defined information system components]; b: Allows [organization-defined personnel or roles] to select which auditable events are to be audited by specific components of the information system; and c: Generates audit records for the events defined in AU-2 d. with the content defined in AU-3.

Description

AU-2

The organization:

a: Determines that the information system is capable of auditing the following events: [organization-defined auditable events];

b: Coordinates the security audit function with other organizational entities requiring audit-related information to enhance mutual support and to help guide the selection of auditable events;

c: Provides a rationale for why the auditable events are deemed to be adequate to support after-the-fact investigations of security incidents; and

d: Determines that the following events are to be audited within the information system: [organization-defined audited events (the subset of the auditable events defined in AU-2 a.) along with the frequency of (or situation requiring) auditing for each identified event].

AU-12

The information system:

a: Provides audit record generation capability for the auditable events defined in AU-2 a. at [organization-defined information system components];

b: Allows [organization-defined personnel or roles] to select which auditable events are to be audited by specific components of the information system; and

c: Generates audit records for the events defined in AU-2 d. with the content defined in AU-3.
