Forescout must generate a critical alert to be sent to the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and Systems Administrator (SA) (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1.

| Description | ||||
| Ensuring that a security solution alerts in the event of misconfiguration or error is imperative to ensuring that proper auditing is being conducted. Having the ability to immediately notify an administrator when this auditing fails allows for a quick response and real-time remediation. | ||||

If DOD is not at C2C Step 1 or higher, this is not a finding.
Verify Forescout sends an alert to the proper security personnel when an audit process failure occurs.
1. Log on to the Forescout UI.
2. Locate the audit process policies as identified by the site representative.
3. Verify a policy for "audit failure" exists.
4. Verify this policy includes notification of security personnel as follows.
a. Navigate to Options >> General >> Mail and DNS.

c. Verify that any policies that need notification actions have one of the following actions configured:
- Send Email.
- Send Email to User.
- Send Balloon Notification.
- HTTP Notification.
- Splunk: Send Update from CounterACT.
