Description
Identifying source and destination addresses for information flows within the network allows forensic reconstruction of events when required, and increases policy compliance by attributing policy violations to specific individuals. Means to enforce this enhancement include ensuring the IDPS authenticates the source involved in sending information. Authenticating source domain IP address and other identifiers for users versus organizations and components is not an IDPS function. The IDPS uses IP addresses and other identifiers, but is not the source or organizer of these identifiers.
