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). With the DBN-6300, audit records are automatically backed up on a real-time basis via syslog when enabled.

Check Text ( C-76635r1_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", 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" and the Audit Configuration Categories are all checked for Audit Log, Syslog, and Audit Console. Following this verification, process any kind of privileged activity or any type of system-level access. Confirm the presence of a syslog message on the syslog server containing information pertinent to any kind of privileged activity or any type of system-level access. If the DBN-6300 is not connected to the syslog server, or if the syslog server is connected but the message containing the information pertinent to any kind of privileged activity or any type of system-level access that was processed is not there, this is a finding.
