Title

RHEL 10 must monitor all remote access methods.

Control

Verify RHEL 10 monitors all remote access methods with the following command: $ sudo grep -rE '(auth.\*|authpriv.\*|daemon.\*)' /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/ /etc/rsyslog.conf:authpriv.* /var/log/secure If "auth.*", "authpriv.*", or "daemon.*" are not configured to be logged, this is a finding.

Discussion

Logging remote access methods can be used to trace the decrease in the risks associated with remote user access management. It can also be used to spot cyberattacks and ensure ongoing compliance with organizational policies surrounding the use of remote access methods.
