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

[Gleb Paharenko <gpaharenko () gmail com>]

Hi!

The core requirements: it should be other person(s) than who is
producing log events and this person should be competent enough to
analyse the activities in logs. Even, it might be some managed
security service provider. When you need performance and fill lack of
resource - use different IT departments. In case you need more
independent review - make a computer audit to watch for IT logs.
