Rule version SRG-APP-000495-NDM-000318 · STIG v5 · 2026-05-23

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

Determine if the network device generates audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify administrator privileges occur.

If the network device does not generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify administrator privileges occur, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the network device to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify administrator privileges occur.
