Information

The ability to report on logon attempts is the first step is creating a chain of events for a forensic analysis and incident response.

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

Solution

If the Splunk instance is used for Tier 2 CSSP (formerly CND-SP) or JRSS analysis, this fix is N/A.

Configure Splunk Enterprise using the reporting and notification tools to create a report that audits the logon attempts. Make this report available to the ISSM and other required individuals.
