AAA Services must be configured to notify the system administrators (SAs) and information system security officer (ISSO) when accounts are created.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

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 system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. AAA Services may not have built-in capabilities to notify the administrators and ISSO and may require the use of third-party tools (e.g. SNMP, SIEM) to perform the notification.
