The Trend Micro SMS must generate an alert for all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected.

Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).

In the SMS client, ensure a SNMPv3 trap destination is configured.

1. Navigate to Admin >> Server Properties >> SNMP. 2. View the NMS configuration.

If an NMS Trap Destination is not configured, this is a finding.

In the SMS client, configure a SNMPv3 trap destination is configured. Audit failure alerts are generated via SNMPv3 traps.

1. Navigate to Admin >> Server Properties >> SNMP >> Add. 2. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address, Version 3, with the username, and authPriv keys configured that match the site's required attributes.
