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.

Details

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.
