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 imperative that access to audit tools be controlled and protected from unauthorized access. 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.
