Description
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Review the Cisco ASA configuration to verify it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration should look similar to the example below.

logging enable
logging timestamp
logging buffered informational

Note: The ASA will log all login attempts as well as log the administrator’s name and time executing the enable command. The ASA will also log the time when the administrator logs out.

If the Cisco ASA is not configured to generate log records showing starting and ending time for administrator access to the system, this is a finding.
