DG0032-ORACLE11 - Audit records should be restricted to authorized individuals - 'AUD$ table access is restricted'

Information

Audit data is frequently targeted by malicious users as it can provide a means to detect their activity. The protection of the audit trail data is of special concern and requires restrictions to allow only the auditor and DBMS backup, recovery, and maintenance users access to it.

Solution

Document and authorize accounts granted access to the AUD$ table in the System Security Plan.
