Apparently during one of our many audits (governing body to remain nameless) one of the auditors insisted that we should be encrypting the event logs on our DCs. I have since requested a formal finding be provided by the auditor indicating the perceived risks so that I can first identify if we have any mitigating controls already in place. With that, I thought I would start looking around for specific solutions. We're currently running Windows 2003 DCs in a Windows 2003 Native AD environment. I'm not finding a whole lot of solutions specific to encrypting "event logs". We are planning on introducing Windows 2008 R2 DCs this year so I will research bit locker, but, I'm concered about the inter-operability with Symantec SIM. I'm still working with very little information so I'm probably missing a lot of content. I guess I would just like to find out if anyone else has received similiar directives from an audit and what solutions or mitigating controls helped satisfy the auditor's concerns. - Sean ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
