| Description | ||||
| When VMM accounts are removed, user accessibility is affected. Once an attacker establishes access to a system, the attacker often attempts to disable authorized accounts to disrupt services or prevent the implementation of countermeasures. Auditing account removal actions provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. To address access requirements, many VMMs can be integrated with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements. | ||||
