Discussion

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).

Determine if the OS10 Switch generates an immediate alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

Verify that syslog is configured to use a connection-based protocol, either TCP or TLS, when connecting to a remote syslog server:

OS10# show running-configuration logging
!
...
logging server 100.94.75.111 tcp 514

If the OS10 Switch is not configured to use either TCP or TLS for connection to the remote syslog servers, this is a finding.
