Fix Text (F-26206r1_fix)
Develop, document and implement database or host system procedures to report audit trail data in a form usable to detect unauthorized access to or usage of DBMS privileges, procedures or data. You may also want to consider procuring a third-party auditing tool like Oracle Audit Vault with support for Oracle and other DBMS products within your environment. NOTE: Audit data may contain sensitive information. The use of a single repository for audit data should be protected at the highest level based on the sensitivity of the databases being audited.
