Description
Discussion Text
Protecting audit information also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operation on audit information.
Operating systems providing tools to interface with audit information will leverage user permissions, roles identifying the user accessing the tools, and the corresponding user rights to make decisions regarding access to audit tools.
Audit tools include, but are not limited to, vendor-provided and open source audit tools needed to successfully view and manipulate audit information system activity and records. Audit tools include custom queries and report generators.
