  • SRG-OS-000054

    Group
  • The operating system must provide the capability to filter audit records for events of interest based upon all audit fields within audit records.

  • SRG-OS-000055

    Group
  • The operating system must use internal system clocks to generate time stamps for audit records.

    Without an internal clock used as the reference for the time stored on each event to provide a trusted common reference for the time, forensic analysis would be impeded. Determining the correct tim...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000057

    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000062

    Group
  • The operating system must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events for all operating system components.

    Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit rec...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000063

    Group
  • The operating system must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.

    Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audi...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000064

    Group
  • The operating system must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur.

    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 in...
