Review the Trend Deep Security server to ensure the execution of privileged functions are audited. Interview the ISSO for a list of functions identified as privileged within the application “System Events.” Privileged functions within the system events will include but are not limited to: Computer Created, Computer Deleted, User Added, etc.). Verify the list against the Administration >> System Settings >> System Events tab. If the events are not to Record and Forward, this is a finding.
