Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-216398 SOL-11.1-050430 SV-216398r603267_rule Low
Description
Warning messages inform users who are attempting to log in to the system of their legal status regarding the system and must include the name of the organization that owns the system and any monitoring policies that are in place. As implementing a logon banner to deter inappropriate use can provide a foundation for legal action against abuse, this warning content should be set as appropriate.
