Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The network device must generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

    <VulnDiscussion>It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required....

  • The network device must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analys...

  • The network device must record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records....
