DB2 must produce audit records containing sufficient information to establish the outcome (success or failure) of the events.

Description
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without information about the outcome of events, security personnel cannot make an accurate assessment as to whether an attack was successful or if changes were made to the security state of the system. Event outcomes can include indicators of event success or failure and event-specific results (e.g., the security state of the information system after the event occurred). As such, they also provide a means to measure the impact of an event and help authorized personnel to determine the appropriate response.

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-213679r960903_chk)

Run the following SQL statement to confirm that all audit policies are created with STATUS='B': DB2> SELECT * FROM SYSCAT.AUDITPOLICIES If any audit policy does not have the values for all the audit category columns set to 'B' (Both) and the value in the ERRORTYPE column set to 'A' (Audit), EXECUTEWITHDATA to 'Y' for Execute category audit policies, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-14898r295087_fix)

Drop and recreate the policy with STATUS set to ""Both"" or use ALTER POLICY to set the STATUS='B'. To drop and recreate a policy use following statements: DB2> DROP AUDIT POLICY <audit1> DB2> CREATE AUDIT POLICY <audit1> CATEGORIES < audit categories > STATUS BOTH ERROR TYPE AUDIT To alter the audit policy: DB2> ALTER AUDIT POLICY <audit1> CATEGORIES < audit categories > STATUS BOTH ERROR TYPE AUDIT Notes: Each audit record has an Event Status represented by a SQLCODE where Successful event > = 0 Failed event < 0. To generate a record for both success and failed events, all the audit policies should be created with STATUS 'BOTH'.
