The following 6 compliance controls are associated with this Policy definition 'Generate internal security alerts' (171e377b-5224-4a97-1eaa-62a3b5231dac)
The organization:
a. Receives information system security alerts, advisories, and directives from [Assignment: organization-defined external organizations] on an ongoing basis;
b. Generates internal security alerts, advisories, and directives as deemed necessary;
c. Disseminates security alerts, advisories, and directives to: [Selection (one or more): [Assignment: organization-defined personnel or roles]; [Assignment: organization-defined elements within the organization]; [Assignment: organization-defined external organizations]]; and
d. Implements security directives in accordance with established time frames, or notifies the issuing organization of the degree of noncompliance.
Supplemental Guidance: The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) generates security alerts and advisories to maintain situational awareness across the federal government. Security directives are issued by OMB or other designated organizations with the responsibility and authority to issue such directives. Compliance to security directives is essential due to the critical nature of many of these directives and the potential immediate adverse effects
on organizational operations and assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation should the directives not be implemented in a timely manner. External organizations include, for example, external mission/business partners, supply chain partners, external service providers, and other peer/supporting organizations. Related control: SI-2.

The organization analyzes and correlates audit records across different repositories using a security information and event management (SIEM) tool or log analytics tools for log aggregation and consolidation from multiple systems/machines/devices, and correlates this information with input from non-technical sources to gain and enhance organization-wide situational awareness. Using the SIEM tool, the organization devise profiles of common events from given systems/machines/devices so that it can tune detection to focus on unusual activity, avoid false positives, more rapidly identify anomalies, and prevent overwhelming analysts with insignificant alerts.
