Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-66059 HFFS-L2-000008 SV-80549r1_rule Medium
Description
Without the capability to select a user session to capture/record or view/hear, investigations into suspicious or harmful events would be hampered by the volume of information captured. The volume of information captured may also adversely impact the operation for the network. Session audits may include port mirroring, tracking websites visited, and recording information and/or file transfers.
