Description
Without auditing, malicious activity cannot be detected.

ℹ️ Check
The Audit Configuration profile is required. This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone currently being secured. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. Determine the OS version currently being secured. # uname -v For Solaris 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3: # pfexec auditconfig -getflags \| grep active \| cut -f2 -d= If "as" audit flag is not included in the output, this is a finding. For Solaris 11.4 or newer: # pfexec auditconfig -t -getflags \| cut -f2 -d= If "cusa,fm,fd,-fa,-ps,-ex" audit flags are not included in the output, this is a finding. Determine if auditing policy is set to collect command line arguments. # pfexec auditconfig -getpolicy \| grep active \| grep argv If the active audit policies line does not appear, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
The Audit Configuration profile is required. All audit flags must be enabled in a single command. This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone currently being secured. # zonename If the command output is "global ", this action applies.
