Description
Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. Auditing account changes provides the necessary reconciliation that account management procedures are being followed. Without this audit trail, personnel without the proper authorization may gain access to critical network nodes. Associating event types, date/time of the event, identity of any individual or process associated with the event, source/destination of the event, location of the event, and the outcome of the event provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured network device.
