Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-27074 SRG-NET-000171 SV-34369r1_rule Medium
Description
It is critical that when a network device is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it takes action to mitigate the failure. If the device were to continue processing without auditing enabled, a network device or the network itself could be compromised without any information that can be used for the trace back of an attack and for forensic analysis.
