EX13-CA-000125 - Exchange software must be monitored for unauthorized changes.

Information

Monitoring software files for changes against a baseline on a regular basis may help detect the possible introduction of malicious code on a system.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Update the EDSP.

Monitor the software files (e.g., *.exe, *.bat, *.com, *.cmd, and *.dll) on Exchange servers for unauthorized changes against a baseline on a weekly basis.

Use an approved DoD monitoring tool.
