The macOS system must be configured to audit all failed write actions on the system.
Description
Discussion Text
The audit system must be configured to record enforcement actions of access restrictions, including failed file write (-fw) attempts.
Enforcement actions are the methods or mechanisms used to prevent unauthorized access and/or changes to configuration settings. One common and effective enforcement action method is using access restrictions (e.g., denying users access to edit a file by applying file permissions).
This configuration ensures that audit lists include events in which enforcement actions prevent attempts to change a file.
Without auditing the enforcement of access restrictions, it is difficult to identify attempted attacks, as there is no audit trail available for forensic investigation.
