Discussion

By immediately displaying an alarm message, potential security violations can be identified more quickly even when administrators are not logged onto the network device. An example of a mechanism to facilitate this would be through the utilization of SNMP traps.

Check Content

Verify the BIG-IP appliance is configured to use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B. 

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> System >> Logs >> Configuration >> Log Destinations.

Verify a log destination is configured for a CNDSP or other mechanism that is monitored by security personnel.

If the BIG-IP appliance is not configured to use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the BIG-IP appliance to use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B.
