Vulnerability discussion

If the configuration of the DBMS's auditing is spread across multiple locations in the database management software, or across multiple commands, only loosely related, it is harder to use and takes longer to reconfigure in response to events.The DBMS must provide a unified tool for audit configuration.

Check content

Review DBMS vendor documentation. If the DBMS does not provide a unified tool for audit configuration, this is a finding.

Fix text

Deploy a DBMS that provides a unified tool for audit configuration.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
