Discussion

Without generating audit records specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check Content

Confirm Nutanix AOS generates audit records for successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify categories of information.

$ sudo grep -i /usr/sbin/semanage /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/semanage -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k secobjects

$ sudo grep -i /usr/sbin/setsebool /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/setsebool -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k secobjects

$ sudo grep -i /usr/bin/chcon /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chcon -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k secobjects

$ sudo grep -iw /usr/sbin/setfiles /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/setfiles -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-priv_change

If the commands does not return any output, this is a finding.
