Privileged accounts pose ahigh security risk, and tracking their activity iscritical for compliance(e.g.,PCI DSS, NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2).
#1. Automate Report Generation for Privileged Accounts (A)
Ensurescontinuous monitoringofadmin/root accounts.
Helpsdetect misuse or unauthorized access.
Example:
Splunk Enterprise Security (ES)can generate scheduled reports on:
Failed login attempts by privileged users.
Actions performed using admin credentials.
#Incorrect Answers:
B: Use summary indexes to delete old data# Summary indexes improve performance butdo not help track privileged accounts.
C: Focus only on low-priority account activity# Privileged accountsshould always be high-priority.
D: Exclude privileged accounts from reporting# This wouldviolate compliance requirements.
