The Cisco switch must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for administrator access to the system.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-220510 CISC-ND-001280 SV-220510r879876_rule Medium
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).
