Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when local accounts are created.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>An authorized insider or individual who maliciously creates a local account could gain immediate access from a remote location to privileged information on a critical security device. Sending an alert to the administrators and ISSO when this action occurs greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be surreptitiously created. RiOS can be configured to send an SNMP trap to the SNMP server. It also sends a message to the Syslog and the local log. Either of these methods results in an alert that can be forwarded to authorized accounts.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
