According to CNSSD 504, which of the following is NOT a required capability for UAM?

In the context of CNSSD 504, User Activity Monitoring (UAM) encompasses various capabilities designed to track and analyze user interactions with systems to identify potential insider threats. Among the listed capabilities, graphic card utilization is not considered a fundamental requirement for UAM.

The primary objectives of UAM are focused on monitoring user actions that could indicate malicious behavior, such as unauthorized access to sensitive files, potential data exfiltration, or behavior that falls outside of normal operational patterns. File shadowing, keystroke monitoring, and screen capture are integral to achieving these objectives, as they directly correlate with providing visibility into user behavior and enhancing the ability to detect suspicious activities.

In contrast, while graphic card utilization might provide insights into certain types of processes (such as gaming or graphic manipulation), it does not directly contribute to monitoring user activity in a way that aids in identifying insider threats. Therefore, it stands out as the capability that is not required for effective UAM implementation as prescribed by CNSSD 504.
