Assessment Title

Rule Text

The operating system must generate audit records for the selected list of auditable events as defined in DoW list of events.

Description

Discussion Text

Without auditing, individual system accesses cannot be tracked, and malicious activity cannot be detected and traced back to an individual account. Without accurate time stamps, source, user, and activity information, malicious activity cannot be accurately tracked. Without an audit reduction and reporting capability, users find it difficult to identify specific patterns of attack.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

The reconstructed evaluation script behind this rule's OVAL check(s) — every module a compound check combines, with this rule's own concrete values and DISA's SCC tool's real per-module mechanism curated from static teardown of SCC releases.

Remediation

The Audit Control profile is required.

This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing.

# zonename

If the command output is "global", this action applies.

If auditing has been disabled, it must be enabled with the following command:

# pfexec audit -s
