Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-68493 SRG-APP-000472-MFP-000370 SV-82983r1_rule Medium
Description
Without verification, security functions may not operate correctly and this failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing the system security policy and supporting the isolation of code and data on which the protection is based. Security functionality includes, but is not limited to, establishing system accounts, configuring access authorizations (i.e., permissions, privileges), setting events to be audited, and setting intrusion detection parameters. This requirement applies to applications performing security functions and the applications performing security function verification/testing.
