Audit Log

Organizations that need to troubleshoot serious security breaches rely on audit logs for a forensic analysis of the activities leading up to actual and potential breaches. In regulated industries, these audit trails are a mandated requirement to comply with security audits.

With the Knox platform, an enterprise IT admin can use an EMM console to enable audit logging on all corporate devices. IT admins can proactively pull audit logs from time to time, to detect and defend against malware or viruses at the earliest onset. In the event of a possible intrusion, IT admins can parse the logged events for unauthorized activities.
