Rule version CISC-ND-001250 · STIG v3 · 2026-02-11

Discussion

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).

Check

Review the Cisco router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below.

archive log config logging enable

If the Cisco router is not configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are deleted, this is a finding.

Fix
