Discussion

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 incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it generates audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur as shown in the examples below:

login on-failure log
login on-success log

If the Cisco switch is not configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur, this is a finding.
