Forescout must generate log records when concurrent logons from different workstations occur.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

Description
Without generating log 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. Log records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).
