Discussion

Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., administrators or processes acting on behalf of administrators) associated with the events, security personnel cannot determine responsibility for the potentially harmful event. Event identifiers (if authenticated or otherwise known) include, but are not limited to, user database tables, primary key values, user names, or process identifiers.

Check Content

Determine if the network device generates audit records containing information that establishes the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.  This requirement may be verified by demonstration or validated test results. If the network device does not generate audit records containing information that establishes the identity of any individual or process associated with the event, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the network device to generate audit records containing information that establishes the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.
