Description
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.
ℹ️ Check
Determine if the network device generates audit log events for a locally developed list of auditable events. If the network device is not configured to generate audit log events for a locally developed list of auditable events, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure the network device to generate audit log events for a locally developed list of auditable events.
