Description

For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track who/what (a user or other principal) logs on to the DBMS.

ℹ️ Check

Review the DBMS audit settings. If an audit record is not generated each time a user (or other principal) logs on or connects to the DBMS, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix

Configure DBMS audit settings to generate an audit record each time a user (or other principal) logs on or connects to the DBMS. Ensure that the audit record contains the time of the event, the user ID, and session identifier.
