Description
Audit records are central to after-the-fact investigations of security incidents. Every effort should be taken to collect as much information as productively feasible for these investigative processes. The SETROPTS LOGOPTIONS option serves as a default auditing requirement. Auditing ‘Failures’ as a minimum will assure a base level of information is available for investigations.
