The UEM server must notify system administrators (SAs) and the information system security officer (ISSO) when accounts are created.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Once an attacker establishes access to an application, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of re-establishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply create a new account. Sending notification of account creation events to the SA and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. To address access requirements, many application developers choose to integrate their applications with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements. Such integration allows the application developer to off-load those access control functions and focus on core application features and functionality.
