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 information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check Content

Review the Trend Deep Security server configuration to ensure audit records are generated for privileged activities or other system-level access.

Interview the ISSO for a list of functions identified as privileged within the application “System Events.” Privileged functions within the system events will include but are not limited to: Computer Created, Computer Deleted, User Added, etc.
Verify the list against the Administration >> System Settings >> System Events tab. 

If the events are not set to “Record” and “Forward”, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the Trend Deep Security server to generate audit records for privileged activities or other system-level access.

Enable the necessary privileged functions by selecting “Record” and “Forward” within the Administration >> System Settings >> System Events, system settings.
