For devices and hosts within the scope of coverage, the Central Log Server must be configured to automatically aggregate events that indicate account actions.

Description
If the Central Log Server is configured to filter or remove account log records transmitted by devices and hosts within its scope of coverage, forensic analysis tools will be less effective at detecting and reporting on important attack vectors. A comprehensive account management process must include capturing log records for the creation of user accounts and notification of administrators and/or application owners. Such a process greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be surreptitiously created and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. This requirement addresses the concern that the Central Log Server may be configured to filter out certain levels of information, which may result in the discarding of DoD-required accounting actions addressed in the AC-2 (4) controls such as creation, modification, deletion, and removal of privileged accounts.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-206516r961863_chk)

Examine the configuration. Verify the Central Log Server automatically aggregates events that indicate account actions for each device and host within its scope of coverage. If the Central Log Server is not configured to automatically aggregate events that indicate account actions for each device and host within its scope of coverage, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-6776r285790_fix)

Configure the Central Log Server to automatically aggregate events that indicate account actions for each device and host within its scope of coverage.
