| Description |
|---|
| Remote access can be exploited by an attacker to compromise the server. By recording all remote access activities, it will be possible to determine the attacker's location, intent, and degree of success. VAMI uses the "mod_accesslog" module to log information relating to remote requests. These logs can then be piped to external monitoring systems. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000016-WSR-000005 |
