The Akamai Luna Portal must automatically audit account creation.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-76463	AKSD-DM-000008	SV-91159r1_rule		Medium

Description
Upon gaining access to a network device, an attacker will often first attempt to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is to create a new account. Notification of account creation helps to mitigate this risk. Auditing account creation provides the necessary reconciliation that account management procedures are being followed. Without this audit trail, personnel without the proper authorization may gain access to critical network nodes.
