PANW-IP-000055 - The Palo Alto Networks security platform must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when denial of service incidents are detected.

Information

Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information.

CJCSM 6510.01B, 'Cyber Incident Handling Program', lists nine Cyber Incident and Reportable Event Categories. DoD has determined that categories identified by CJCSM 6510.01B Major Indicators (category I, II, IV, and VII detection events) will require an alert when an event is detected.

Alert messages must include a severity level indicator or code as an indicator of the criticality of the incident. Since these incidents require immediate action, these messages are assigned a critical or level 1 priority/severity, depending on the system's priority schema.

Alerts may be transmitted, for example, telephonically, by electronic mail messages, or by text messaging. The Palo Alto Networks security platform must either send the alert to a management console that is actively monitored by authorized personnel or use a messaging capability to send the alert directly to designated personnel.

Solution

Configure a Server Profile for use with Log Forwarding Profile(s); If email is used, the ISSO and ISSM must be recipients.
Configure a Log Forwarding Profile; this is under Objects >> Log Forwarding.
Go to Policies >> DoS Protection
Select 'Add' to create a new policy or select the Name of the Policy to edit it.
In the 'DoS Rule' window, complete the required fields.
In the 'Option/Protection' tab, in the 'Log Forwarding' field, select the configured Log Forwarding Profile.
Select 'OK'.
Commit changes by selecting 'Commit' in the upper-right corner of the screen. Select 'OK' when the confirmation dialog appears.
