Description

Firewall application logs must be configured to capture all organizationally defined information deemed necessary for possible event investigation and traceability. This additional information may include timestamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, file names involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. This capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis.

Check Text ( C-45599r1_chk )
Verify log view settings can be reorganized to view the log entries by type, location or subject. Verify the application logs categorize each event logged by a minimum event type, location, and a description of the event. If firewall implementation application log entries do not include a minimum of event type, location, and a description of the event for each event captured, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-42277r1_fix)
Configure the firewall implementation and central management server to categorize each alert. Alerts will include event type, location, and a description of the event.
