Security information in production and operations: a study on audit trails in database systems

Abstract

Special care should be taken to verify the integrity and to ensure that sensitive data is adequately protected. One of the key activities for data loss prevention is anaudit. And in order to be able to audit a system, it is important to have reliable records of its activities. Systems that store critical data, whether financial or productive, must have features such as audit log, also called audit trail, which records all activities on critical data. This allows to identify harmful actions that can be internal or external, intentionally or unintentionally caused. Therefore, this paper presents major studies in security audit trail (audit log), especially records of logs, and it presents what is available in terms of commercial tools and what they offer.

The Road to Trustworthy 6G: A Survey on Trust Anchor Technologies

“…This makes the audit log itself a central target for attackers who want to cover their traces. It therefore requires additional security measures like integrity protection [16] and encryption [17].…”

“…Audit Trails [16], [17] An audit log facilitates traceability of SLAs, data access and context information.…”

Time Driven Activity-Based Costing

“…Sobre esse contexto, as pesquisas têm observado alta taxa de mortalidade das empresas de pequeno porte, que chega ao nível de até 50% nos primeiros três anos de operação, apontando como possíveis razões: a concorrência com empresas de grande porte, a carga tributária elevada, a dificuldade de acesso a recursos financeiros e o gerenciamento do capital de giro. Além disso, estudos do campo da Contabilidade apontam para a escassez de informações no processo de tomada de decisão (CALLADO; MIRANDA; CALLADO, 2003;PERUFO;GODOY, 2019;RORATTO;ALVES, 2017) .…”
