Exam FC0-U61 topic 1 question 197 discussion

B. Enable an audit log. Explanation: In security, accounting (part of the AAA framework: Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) refers to tracking and logging user activities to ensure accountability and detect suspicious actions. Enabling an audit log allows security administrators to monitor and record user interactions, login attempts, transactions, and changes within the web application. Why the other options are less relevant: A. Enhance the granularity of user permissions – This improves security but is more related to authorization, not accounting. C. Implement smart card login – This strengthens authentication, not accounting. D. Adopt a procedure for adding accounts – This improves user management but does not directly track activities.

Enabling an audit log allows the system to record all relevant events related to “user actions”…. such as login attempts, data access, changes made, and more. These logs are crucial for tracking behavior and identifying suspicious activities.
