Audit logging must be enabled on MKE.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Enabling audit logging on MKE enhances security, supports compliance efforts, provides user accountability, and offers valuable insights for incident response and operational management. It is an essential component of maintaining a secure, compliant, and well-managed Kubernetes environment. Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
