Audit Process Creation

  • 아티클

Audit Process Creation determines whether the operating system generates audit events when a process is created (starts).

These audit events can help you track user activity and understand how a computer is being used. Information includes the name of the program or the user that created the process.

Event volume: Medium to High, depending on the process activity on the computer.

This subcategory allows you to audit events generated when a process is created or starts. The name of the application and user that created the process is also audited.
