Prerequisites
Any experience relating to information security would be advantageous, but not essential. All topics discussed are thoroughly explained and presented in a way allowing the information to be absorbed by everyone, regardless of experience within the security field.
Now throughout all of these controls, we will have to have, of course, logging. Logging is the production of a recorded set of transactions and sessions that reveal user actions, system actions, successes, failures, events, incidents, and anomalies. Typically a default set of record types are defined by the system by the designers and are recorded as significant to system management and security, as well as user monitoring. Some additional configuration and record selection may also be possible to customize to enterprise risk and compliance requirements.
Now logs themselves contain sensitive information and can be very revealing about what is going on inside the system. And therefore they need to be strongly protected from access and of course the scrubbing modification that takes place when someone with proper access tries to hide their tracks.
