Cisco ASA - AAA Policy Tampering

Splunk Security Content

View Source
Summary
This detection rule is designed to monitor and identify unauthorized changes to authentication and authorization (AAA) policies on Cisco ASA devices, which can be indicative of a security risk. AAA controls critical aspects of network security by managing how users authenticate (log in), authorizations for access, and the enforcement of security policies. Modifications to these settings could allow malicious actors or insiders to weaken security measures, potentially facilitating attacks such as brute-force login attempts or privilege escalation. The rule triggers upon detecting specific commands that pertain to AAA policy changes, such as modifying authentication methods or access controls, and ensures that any such alteration aligns with established security protocols and change management processes.
