8.6: Centralize Anti-Malware Logging ========================================================= Send all malware detection events to enterprise anti-malware administration tools and event log servers for analysis and alerting. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Devices - Detect - 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 2.1: Maintain Inventory of Authorized Software * Sub-control 5.1: Establish Secure Configurations Inputs ------ #. List of software instances (anti-malware software, anti-malware administration tools, and event log servers) that need to be configured to properly send, receive, and log these malware detection events. #. Approved configuration(s) for anti-malware software, anti-malware administration tools, and event log servers to ensure that malware detection events are properly sent, received, and logged. #. The total number of malware detection events (M5) #. The number of alerts being correlated in a central service (M6) Operations ---------- #. For each software instance in Input 1, check to see if it is configured according to the appropriate approved configuration(s) in Input 2. #. Create a list of the software instances that are properly configured (M1) #. Create a list of the software instances that are not properly configured (M2) noting where the deviations occur. Measures -------- * M1 = List of software instances that are properly configured for the sending/receiving of malware detection events (compliant list) * M2 = List of software instances that are not properly configured for the sending/receiving of malware detection events (non-compliant list) * M3 = Count of properly configured software instances (count of M1) * M4 = Total count of software instances that need to be configured to properly send/receive malware detection events (count of Input 1) * M5 = Count of malware detection events * M6 = Count of alerts being correlated in a central service Metrics ------- Coverage ^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Ratio of properly configured software instances for sending/receiving malware detection | events. * - **Calculation** - :code:`M3 / M4` Quality ^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Quality of Log correlation/aggregation for Anti-Malware * - **Calculation** - :code:`M6 / M5` .. history .. authors .. license
