|---|
| Review the system documentation and interview the application and system administrators. Examine the system to determine if an automated, continuous on-line monitoring and audit trail creation capability is present with the capability to immediately alert personnel of any unusual or inappropriate activity with potential IA implications, and with a user configurable capability to automatically disable the system if serious IA violations are detected. If this monitoring capability does not exist, this is a finding. |

| Implement mechanisms to alert system administrators about a low resource condition. |
