| Description |
|---|
| If the system is not configured to audit certain activities and write them to an audit log, it is more difficult to detect and track system compromises, and damages incurred during a system compromise. Permanent not a finding - Auditing cannot be configured/implemented like a typical UNIX system. Remote logging (audit data included) is covered as a VMware HG requirement. |
