The DBN-6300 must continuously monitor inbound communications traffic between the application tier and the database tier for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions at the SQL level.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-65021	DBNW-IP-000050	SV-79511r1_rule		Medium

Description
If inbound communications traffic is not continuously monitored for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions, there will be times when hostile activity may not be noticed and defended against. Although some of the components in the site's content scanning solution may be used for periodic scanning assessment, the IDPS sensors and other components must provide continuous, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week monitoring. Unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions related to information system inbound communications traffic include, for example, internal traffic that indicates the presence of malicious code within organizational information systems or propagating among system components, the unauthorized exporting of information, or signaling to external information systems. Anomalies within organizational information systems include, for example, large file transfers, long-time persistent connections, use of unusual protocols and ports, and communications with suspected or known malicious external entities.

View the organization's documentation to determine which databases are required to be protected. Ask the site representative if the device is used continuously or if periodic monitoring is performed. Navigate to Learning >> Time Regions and view the table of detected databases. For each database requiring protection, view the "State". Unprotected databases show a red shield. Protected databases show a green shield. If continuous monitoring is not performed by the organization, this is a finding.
