Description
Database object definitions and configurations require similar oversight as application libraries to detect unauthorized changes. Unauthorized changes may indicate attempts to compromise data or application object integrity or confidentiality. Any access to audit data objects stored in the database must be audited to detect any attempts to compromise the audit trail. A compromise to audit data could jeopardize accountability for unauthorized actions.
