The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.

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 network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Review the Cisco ASA configuration to verify it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration should look similar to the example below.

logging enable logging buffered informational

Note: The ASA will log all login attempts.

If the Cisco ASA is not configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to logon, this is a finding.

Configure the Cisco ASA as shown in the example below.

ASA(config)# logging enable ASA(config)# logging buffered informational ASA(config)# end
