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, it is essential for security personnel to know when events occurred (date and time). Associating event types with detected events in the operating system audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured operating system.

Details

Check Text (C-203605r958414_chk)

Verify the operating system produces audit records containing information to establish when (date and time) the events occurred. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-3730r557072_fix)

Configure the operating system to produce audit records containing information to establish when (date and time) the events occurred.
