The Cisco IOS XE router must automatically audit account modification.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-73967	CISR-ND-000010	SV-88641r2_rule		Medium

Description

Since the accounts in the network device are privileged or system-level accounts, account management is vital to the security of the network device. Account management by a designated authority ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel with the appropriate and necessary privileges. Auditing account modification along with an automatic notification to appropriate individuals will provide the necessary reconciliation that account management procedures are being followed. If modifications to management accounts are not audited, reconciliation of account management procedures cannot be tracked.
