Description
Without establishing the source of the event, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, security personnel need to know the source of the event. In addition to logging where events occur within the network, the audit records must also identify sources of events such as IP addresses, processes, and node or device names.

The router must log all packets that have been dropped via the access control list. If the router fails to log all packets that have been dropped via the control list, this is a finding. Log output must contain the source IP address and port of the filtered packets. If the logged output does not contain source IP address and port of the filtered packets, this is a finding.
