Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-92317 SELS-SW-000070 SV-102405r1_rule Medium
Description
Without the capability to select a user session to capture/record or view/hear, investigations into suspicious or harmful events would be hampered by the volume of information captured. The volume of information captured may also adversely impact the operation for the network. Session audits may include port mirroring, tracking websites visited, and recording information and/or file transfers.

Check Text ( C-91613r1_chk )
Review the SEL-2740S flow rules to ensure they only include the specific copy rules for capturing ingress and egress flows only on the designated port(s).

Note: A span port can be created to capture based on Flows, ports, or combination.

If the SEL-2740S is configured with flows with wildcard or unnecessary packet forwarding rules, this is a finding.
