Comprehensive Audit Logging

Audit in Granular Detail

Audit logging entails the systematic documentation of activities within the software systems employed throughout your organization.

These logs capture vital information, including the event itself, its timestamp, the user or service accountable, and the affected entity. Audit logs are generated by all the devices within your network, your cloud services, and the applications you utilize, presenting a valuable resource for auditing endeavors.

Examination of audit logs enables system administrators to monitor user actions, while security teams can utilize them to investigate security breaches and ensure compliance with regulatory mandates.

Forensic Audit Logs

Embracing a Secure Digital Future

Ensuring compliance with industry regulation
Regulations such as CIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 have implications for a diverse range of industries. Audit logs serve as valuable tools for demonstrating that your organization has adhered to specific standards, such as CIS password security requirements, within a specified timeframe.
Investigating Data Loss Issues
Audit logs encompass comprehensive historical data that prove invaluable for reconstructing the sequence of events during a system outage or incident. These logs differentiate between errors caused by operators and those attributed to system malfunctions. Additionally, audit trails play a critical role in issue resolution, such as potentially restoring a corrupted file to its initial state by analyzing its documented changes.
Reconstructing security breaches
In the event of a breach, an audit trail becomes instrumental in uncovering the details of the incident. For instance, if an employee reports inaccuracies in their bank account information within the payroll system, the HR team can analyze audit logs to pinpoint the responsible party and ascertain when the account information was altered.

Easy Search and Discovery

Advantages of Audit Logs from an Enterprise Browser

Completeness
A comprehensive auditing solution must gather all pertinent information to uphold an exhaustive audit trail. For instance, a tool that records user actions without including data regarding location and timestamps is considered incomplete.
Consistency
An auditing solution should maintain consistent data capture across various devices and web browsers to streamline operations and minimize the use of multiple tools. Inconsistencies should be avoided, such as when a tool accurately captures historical web property data but fails to do the same for mobile devices.
Easy Querying
For effective analysis of audit logs, the logging tool should be able to transform raw log data into structured information that incorporates key details such as event names, event descriptions, user IDs, and more. Once this parsing is accomplished, an audit logging tool should also facilitate straightforward searches for specific audit logs by implementing tagging features.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

New Regulatory Audit Requirements

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has implemented regulations mandating that registrants disclose significant cybersecurity incidents as they occur. Additionally, registrants are required to disclose material details concerning their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance on an annual basis.

Browser Evolution

Intelligent Auditing

Integrate Browser Auditing with Existing Control Planes

The system's activity should have the capability to be exported in a CSV format and accessed via an API, allowing for centralized integration into an organization-wide SIEM logging system, such as Splunk. It is recommended to provide both polling for new events and the option to push new events to the remote system.

In the case of polling, standard methods like etag headers should be employed to prevent the receipt of duplicate events. When event pushing, webhooks and established standards should be used to minimize custom work.

Diverse Auditing Insights

Types of Auditing

Activity tracking
Internally, various company stakeholders, including management, product teams, and IT, utilize activity tracking to obtain invaluable insights. Management leverages it to ensure compliance with system access protocols.
Product and development teams use it to acquire a pre-error understanding of system conditions, which serves as a preventive measure against future failures. For the development team, it provides an extra layer of transparency when troubleshooting configuration alterations.
External Compliance
External compliance requirements play a crucial role. Audit logs are essential to meet these external compliance standards, given the legal obligations that companies must uphold.
Industry-specific compliance and certification standards, such as SOC2, demand audit logs that strictly adhere to rigorous criteria encompassing security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Non-compliance with these standards has significant repercussions, including loss of accreditation and potential legal liabilities.
Security
Additionally, audit logs are crucial in capturing security-related data and are invaluable for monitoring security incidents, even when other preventive and protective measures are in effect.
Essentially, audit logs allow users to "replay" events sequentially, aiding in understanding the circumstances leading to a security breach. For instance, an event log can provide insights into potential user account breaches and whether user privileges were elevated to access particular files or directories containing sensitive information.
