Description

Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Depending upon the log format and application, system and application log tools may provide the only means to manipulate and manage application and system log data. It is, therefore, imperative that access to audit tools be controlled and protected from unauthorized deletion. If an attacker were to delete audit tools MDM server administrator may have no way of managing or viewing the logs.

Review the MDM server configuration to determine whether the MDM server protects audit tools from unauthorized deletion. Have a system administrator in a role without access to audit logs log into the server and attempt to access and delete the audit logs. If the MDM server does not protect audit capability from unauthorized deletion, this is a finding.
