The SLES for vRealize must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful accesses to objects occur.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-89843 VRAU-SL-001430 SV-100493r1_rule Medium
Description
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).
