This course provides the tools you need to audit your organization's compliance with internal and external policies and regulations. Novell Audit is a centralized, cross-platform auditing service. It collects event data from multiple applications across multiple platforms and writes the data to a single, non-repudiable data store. Novell Audit is also capable of creating filtered data stores. Based on criteria you define, Novell Audit captures specific types of events and writes those events to secondary data stores. After you have collected the data, the next challenge is making sense of it.
