Description

Without generating audit records that log usage of objects by subjects and other objects, 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). Security objects are data objects which are controlled by security policy and bound to security attributes. This requirement applies to the ALG traffic management functions. This does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device (device management).

ℹ️ Check

Verify the ALG generates audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur. If the ALG does not generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix

Configure the ALG to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur.
