The Mainframe Product must provide an immediate real-time alert to the operations staff, system programmers, and/or security administrators, at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).

Check Text (C-205556r961401_chk)

If the Mainframe Product does not perform audit data management or storage function, this is not applicable. Examine configuration settings. If the Mainframe Product does not provide for immediate real-time alerts to operations staff, system programmers, and/or security administrators for audit failures requiring real-time alerts, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-5822r299896_fix)

Configure the Mainframe Product to provide for immediate real-time alerts to operations staff, system programmers, and/or security administrators for audit failures requiring real-time alerts.
