Description

Sending notifications or populating dashboards are ways to monitor and alert on applicable events and allow analysts to mitigate issues. Tier 2 CSSP and JRSS analysts perform higher-level analysis at larger network coverage and have specific guidelines to handle alerts and reports. This requirement allows these analysts to not be burdened by all of the lower-level alerts that can be considered "white noise" by isolating their alerting and reporting requirements from other requirements in this STIG.
