Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate an email alert of all log failure events requiring 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 impe...Rule Medium Severity -

Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be logged.
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audi...Rule Medium Severity -
