Description
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis. With the DBN-6300, audit records are automatically backed up on a real-time basis via syslog when enabled.

Check Text ( C-65653r2_chk )
Verify the DBN-6300 is connected to the syslog server. Navigate to Settings >> Advanced >> Syslog. Verify that the syslog services are set to "on", that the syslog server information is valid, and the syslog server has connected. Navigate to Settings >> Advanced >> Audit Log. Verify that the Audit Syslog, "Use System Syslog" button is set to "Yes"; the Audit Configuration Categories are all checked for Audit Log, Syslog, and Audit Console; and the items for any locally developed list of auditable events is checked. Following this verification, process an account removal. Confirm the presence of a syslog message on the syslog server containing the date and time of this last logon. If the DBN-6300 is not connected to the syslog server, or if the syslog server is connected but the message containing the information that a logon has just occurred is not there, this is a finding.
