Description
Associating event outcome with detected events in the log provides a means of investigating an attack or suspected attack. The logs should identify what servers, destination addresses, applications, or databases were potentially attacked by logging communications traffic between the target and the attacker. All commands that were entered by the attacker (such as account creations, changes in permissions, files accessed, etc.) during the session should also be logged when capturing for forensic analysis. Packet captures of attack traffic can be used by forensic tools for analysis for example, to determine if an alert is real or a false alarm or for forensics for threat intelligence. Configure the packet capture filters so that the CPU is not overloaded. There are many reasons for a packet capture. This requirement addresses the case where the capture is based on forensics for a detected malicious attack and the traffic is being captured in association with that traffic. Filtering should be engaged to facilitate forensics.

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-207690r559743_chk)

Go to Objects >> Security Profiles >> Antivirus View the configured Antivirus Profiles. If the Packet Capture check box is not checked, this is a finding. Go to Objects >> Security Profiles >> Anti-Spyware View the configured Anti-Spyware Profiles. If the "Packet Capture" field does not show extended-capture, this is a finding. Go to Objects >> Security Profiles >> Vulnerability Protection View the configured Vulnerability Protection Profiles. If the "Packet Capture" field does not show extended-capture, this is a finding. Go to Policies >> Security Review each of the configured security policies in turn. For any Security Policy that affects traffic between Zones (interzone), view the "Profile" column. If the "Profile" column does not display the Antivirus Profile, Anti-Spyware, and Vulnerability Protection symbols, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-7944r573750_fix)

This procedure will only capture the first packet. See the vendor documentation for further information. Go to Objects >> Security Profiles >> Antivirus Select the name of a configured Antivirus Profile or select "Add" to create a new one. In the "Antivirus Profile" window, complete the required fields. In the "Antivirus" tab, select the "Packet Capture" check box. Select "OK". Configure an Anti-Spyware Profile to capture detected malicious traffic. Go to Objects >> Security Profiles >> Anti-Spyware Select the name of a configured Anti-Spyware Profile or select "Add" to create a new one. In the "Anti-Spyware Profile" window, complete the required fields in all tabs. In the "Rules" tab, select the name of a configured Anti-Spyware Rule or select "Add" to create a new one. In the "Anti-Spyware Rule" window, in the "Packet Capture" field, select "extended-capture". Select "OK". Select "OK" again. Configure a Vulnerability Protection Profile to capture detected malicious traffic. Go to Objects >> Security Profiles >> Vulnerability Protection Select the name of a configured Vulnerability Protection Profile or select "Add" to create a new one. In the "Vulnerability Protection Profile" window, complete the required fields. In the "Rules" tab, select the name of a configured Vulnerability Protection Rule or select "Add" to create a new one. In the "Vulnerability Protection Rule" window, in the "Packet Capture" field, select "extended-capture". Select "OK". Select "OK" again. Use the Antivirus Profile, Anti-Spyware Profile, and Vulnerability Protection Profile in a Security Policy. Go to Policies >> Security Select an existing policy rule or select "Add" to create a new one. In the "Actions tab in the Profile Setting section: In the "Profile Type" field, select "Profiles". The window will change to display the different categories of Profiles. In the "Antivirus" field, select the configured Antivirus Profile. In the "Anti-Spyware" field, select the configured Anti-Spyware Profile. In the "Vulnerability Protection" field, select the configured Vulnerability Protection Profile. Select "OK". Commit changes by selecting "Commit" in the upper-right corner of the screen. Select "OK" when the confirmation dialog appears.
