AOS must generate log records for a locally developed list of auditable events.

Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack, recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.

Verify the AOS configuration with the following command: show logging level If the logging levels are not set to the organization-desired level, this is a finding.

Configure AOS with the following commands for each logging category: configure terminal logging <category> level <level> write memory
