Assessment Objective
Determine if:
- SI-04(13)(a)
- SI-04(13)(a)[01] communications traffic for the system is analyzed;
- SI-04(13)(a)[02] event patterns for the system are analyzed;
- SI-04(13)(b)
- SI-04(13)(b)[01] profiles representing common traffic are developed;
- SI-04(13)(b)[02] profiles representing event patterns are developed;
- SI-04(13)(c)
- SI-04(13)(c)[01] traffic profiles are used in tuning system-monitoring devices;
- SI-04(13)(c)[02] event profiles are used in tuning system-monitoring devices.
Assessment Methods
Examine
- System and information integrity policy
- system and information integrity procedures
- procedures addressing system monitoring tools and techniques
- system design documentation
- system monitoring tools and techniques documentation
- system configuration settings and associated documentation
- list of profiles representing common traffic patterns and/or events
- system protocols documentation
- list of acceptable thresholds for false positives and false negatives
- system security plan
- other relevant documents or records
Interview
- System/network administrators
- organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
- organizational personnel installing, configuring, and/or maintaining the system
- organizational personnel responsible for monitoring the system
- organizational personnel responsible for the intrusion detection system
Test
- Organizational processes for intrusion detection and system monitoring
- mechanisms supporting and/or implementing intrusion detection and system monitoring capabilities
- mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the analysis of communications traffic and event patterns
