The DBN-6300 must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify administrator privileges occur.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>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. Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter). Administrative roles cannot be changed on the device console; thus, this only applies to the User Interface (UI) web management tool. All account activities (creation, modification, disabling, and removal, and other account activities, including successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify administrator privileges) on the DBN-6300 are written out to an audit log. This log carries a wealth of information that provides valuable forensic help, including the origin IP and port and destination and port where the event occurred, as well as the type of event and when it occurred. This data is all used to help establish the identity of any individual or process associated with the event. This can be verified by accessing the audit logs remotely by downloading the System State Report. With the DBN-6300, audit records are automatically backed up on a real-time basis via syslog when enabled.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
