Fix Recommendation

Configure the VMM to provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events for all VMM components.

DoD has defined the list of events for which the VMM will provide an audit record generation capability as the following:

(i) Successful and unsuccessful attempts to access, modify, or delete privileges, security objects, security levels, or categories of information (e.g., classification levels);

(ii) Access actions, such as successful and unsuccessful logon attempts, privileged activities or other system level access, starting and ending time for user access to the system, concurrent logons from different workstations, successful and unsuccessful accesses to objects, all program initiations, and all direct access to the VMM;

(iii) All account creations, modifications, disabling, and terminations; and

(iv) All kernel module load, unload, and restart actions.

Check Contents
