Implementing Measures to Correlate System Security Alert Logs with Employee Triggers

D

Out of the given options, the best approach for correlating system security alert logs directly with the employee who triggers the alert would be to implement periodic user account access reviews.

Periodic user account access reviews involve regular monitoring and analysis of user accounts and their activities. By analyzing the logs generated by the system security alerts, the security administrator can match the event with the user account that triggered it. The administrator can then investigate the reason for the alert and take appropriate action, such as providing additional training to the employee or revoking their access privileges.

Access control lists on file servers are a security mechanism that restricts access to specific files or directories. While this can help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive files, it does not provide a direct way to correlate system security alert logs with individual employees.

Elimination of shared accounts can help improve accountability by ensuring that each employee has their own individual account. However, this alone does not provide a direct way to correlate system security alert logs with individual employees.

Group-based privileges for accounts can simplify the management of access privileges by assigning privileges based on job role or department. However, this does not provide a direct way to correlate system security alert logs with individual employees.

In conclusion, periodic user account access reviews would be the most effective approach for the security administrator to comply with the new auditing standards by correlating system security alert logs directly with the employee who triggers the alert.
