Question 780
An operations group at a university network resolved: A finance auditor needs who changed a cloud policy but searches only packet Traffic logs in the centralized logging service. Which ongoing safeguard should become part of its change process?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Map audit questions to the correct management and data-plane log types. This control reduces recurrence of the documented mechanism: Administration audit and network traffic records represent different evidence domains. It creates a repeatable check around the needed response: Use the appropriate SCM Audit or Config logs for administrative activity and retain Traffic logs for flows.
Incorrect Answers
Validate sample log delivery at each firewall onboarding. That safeguard addresses another potential failure: A newly onboarded firewall generates Traffic logs locally but they never appear in Strata Logging Service because the expected log forwarding configuration is missing. It is not the most targeted recurring control for the described cause: Administration audit and network traffic records represent different evidence domains.
Maintain a log class coverage matrix for monitored policy profiles. That safeguard addresses another potential failure: A SOC relies on threat alerts but the relevant URL Filtering actions are not forwarded due to a profile filter that excludes that log subtype. It is not the most targeted recurring control for the described cause: Administration audit and network traffic records represent different evidence domains.
Record incident timestamps in UTC alongside local zone references. That safeguard addresses another potential failure: A SOC filters cloud traffic logs by an incorrect timezone and concludes that no relevant incident occurred. It is not the most targeted recurring control for the described cause: Administration audit and network traffic records represent different evidence domains.
