Re: Review of logs/audit trail - whose responsibility?

[ron () gmail com]

Assuming you have all three groups I would vote for IT Security.
- separation of duties.  Assuming that IT is responsible for controlling and granting network access (if IT sec does 
access control, then let IT do reviews)
- IT Security would probably have better training to spot security anomalies 

- don't see audit doing log reviews on operational (daily,weekly) basis.  I expect they would be doing it periodically 
as part of regular audits.  But their reviews should only be considered a backup to the more frequent operational 
reviews since it would normally be too long between audits.
