The macOS system must produce audit records containing information to establish when, where, what type, the source, and the outcome for all DOD-defined auditable events and actions. An XCCDF Rule
The macOS system must produce audit records containing information to establish when, where, what type, the source, and the outcome for all DOD-defined auditable events and actions.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without establishing what type of events occurred, when they occurred, and by whom, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.
Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy this requirement includes, for example, time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.
Associating event types with detected events in the operating system audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured operating system.
