Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate an alert that can be sent to security personnel when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B occur.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

Description
By immediately displaying an alarm message, potential security violations can be identified more quickly even when administrators are not logged into the network device. An example of a mechanism to facilitate this would be through the utilization of SNMP traps.
