Forescout must configure TCP for the syslog protocol to allow for detection by the central event server if communications is lost. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1.
Medium Severity
<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. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Note that this configuration allows for the central log server to be configured with a critical alert to be sent to the System Security Officer (ISSO) and Systems Administrator (SA) (at a minimum) if it is unable to communicate the Forescout or stops receiving log updates. The alert requirement is in the Syslog STIG.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
