Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-62917 RICX-DM-000054 SV-77407r1_rule Medium
Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.
