The DBN-6300 must be configured to send log data to a syslog server for the purpose of forwarding alerts to the administrators and the ISSO.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to create a new account. Notification of account creation is one method for mitigating this risk. A comprehensive account management process will ensure an audit trail that documents the creation of accounts and notifies administrators and ISSOs. Such a process greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be surreptitiously created and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. With the DBN-6300, audit records are automatically backed up on a real-time basis via syslog when enabled.
