The IDPS must send an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the system administrator when malicious code is detected.

Description
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies will be impeded. The IDPS generates an immediate (within seconds) alert which notifies designated personnel of the incident. Sending a message to an unattended log or console does not meet this requirement since that will not be seen immediately. These messages should include a severity level indicator or code as an indicator of the criticality of the incident.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 7 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-206891r383131_chk)

Verify the IDPS sends an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the system administrator when malicious code is detected. If the IDPS does not send an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the system administrator when malicious code is detected, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-7145r298186_fix)

Configure the IDPS to send an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the system administrator when malicious code is detected.
