VAMI must generate log records for system startup and shutdown.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V-239719 | VCLD-67-000005 | SV-239719r679267_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| Logging must be started as soon as possible when a service starts and when a service is stopped. Many forms of suspicious actions can be detected by analyzing logs for unexpected service starts and stops. Also, by starting to log immediately after a service starts, it becomes more difficult for suspicious activity to go unlogged. |
