Verify the BIG-IP appliance is configured to use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B. Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> System >> Logs >> Configuration >> Log Destinations. Verify a log destination is configured for a CNDSP or other mechanism that is monitored by security personnel. If the BIG-IP appliance is not configured to use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B, this is a finding.
