The MQ Appliance network device must use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and in association with CJCSM 6510.01B.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>By immediately displaying an alarm message, potential security violations can be identified more quickly even when administrators are not logged into the MQ Appliance network device. An example of a mechanism to facilitate this would be through the use of SNMP traps. Using a syslog logging target, the MQ Appliance logs all audit and system events. Logging may be set to the following logging levels in descending order of criticality: debug, info, notice, warn, error, alert, emerg. The default is notice. It is the responsibility of the sysadmin to configure the triggers necessary to send alerts based upon information received at the syslog server.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
