AUDITING AS PROTECTION AGAINST SYSTEM ERRORS

Auditing is an instrument that can be used to improve the security of any systems in our network. In case of a security breach or network penetration, the event recording log that we can find on different logl files helps us identify what has been compromised and the person who has perfoemned the operations. Auditing should not be considered a ‘configure and forget’ type of operation, but a periodic review of the log file in order to look for unsual events. This would help discover a minor breach before the intruders cause more trouble in our network.
