The DBMS must provide the ability to write specified audit record content to a centralized audit log repository.
Description
Discussion Text
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes but is not limited: timestamps, source and destination IP addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, application specific events, success/fail indications, file names involved, access control or flow control rules invoked.
Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as, the backup and archiving of those records. When organizations define application components requiring centralized audit log management, applications need to support that requirement.
Database audit records not stored in a centralized audit log management tool may be overlooked during investigation of a security incident or may be subject to intentional or accidental manipulation by privileged users of the database.
