The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate traffic log entries containing information to establish when (date and time) the events occurred.

Description
Without establishing when events occurred, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. In order to compile an accurate risk assessment, and provide forensic analysis of network traffic patterns, it is essential for security personnel to know when flow control events occurred (date and time) within the infrastructure. Associating event types with detected events in the network traffic logs provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured network element.

Who does this work

6 NICE work roles and 5 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-239856r665854_chk)

Verify that the logging timestamp command has been configured as shown below. logging enable logging timestamp If the ASA is not configured to generate traffic log entries containing information to establish when the events occurred, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-43048r665853_fix)

Configure the ASA to generate traffic log entries containing information to establish when the events occurred. ASA(config)# logging timestamp
