The Central Log Server must be configured to automatically create trouble tickets for organization-defined threats and events of interest as they are detected in real time (within seconds).

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>In most Central Log Server products today, log review (threat detection), can be automated by creating correlation content matching the organizational-defined Events of Interest (e.g., account change actions, privilege command use, and other AU and AC family controls) to automatically notify or automatically create trouble tickets for threats as they are detected in real time. Auditors have repeatedly expressed a strong preference for automated ticketing. They are also more likely to follow up on the threat and action items needed to address the detected issues if the ticketing process is automated. This is a function provided by most enterprise-level SIEMs. If the Central Log Server does not provide this function, it must forward the log records to a log server that does.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
