Audit Policy: Policy Change: Authorization Policy Change

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:35490Date: (C)2016-06-10   (M)2023-12-13
Class: COMPLIANCEFamily: windows




This policy setting allows you to audit events generated by changes to the authorization policy such as the following: Assignment of user rights (privileges), such as SeCreateTokenPrivilege, that are not audited through the "Authentication Policy Change" subcategory. Removal of user rights (privileges), such as SeCreateTokenPrivilege, that are not audited through the "Authentication Policy Change" subcategory. Changes in the Encrypted File System (EFS) policy. Changes to the Resource attributes of an object. Changes to the Central Access Policy (CAP) applied to an object. If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated when an attempt to change the authorization policy is made. Success audits record successful attempts and Failure audits record unsuccessful attempts. If you do not configure this policy setting, no audit event is generated when the authorization policy changes. Volume: Low. Default: No Auditing Counter Measure: Enable Audit policy settings that support the organizational security policy for all the computers in your organization. Identify the components that you need for an audit policy that enables your organization to hold users accountable for their actions while using organizational resources and enables IT departments to detect unauthorized activity efficiently and then track those events in log files. Potential Impact: If no audit settings are configured, or if audit settings are too lax on the computers in your organization, security incidents might not be detected or not enough evidence will be available for network forensic analysis after security incidents occur. However, if audit settings are too severe, critically important entries in the Security log may be obscured by all of the meaningless entries and computer performance and the available amount of data storage may be seriously affected. Companies that operate in certain regulated industries may have legal obligations to log certain events or activities. Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Advanced Audit Policy Configuration\Audit Policies\Policy Change\Audit Policy: Policy Change: Authorization Policy Change (2) REG: NO REGISTRY INFO
