Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.

    Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Granula...
    Rule Medium Severity
