This event generates when the computer's audit policy changes.

This event is always logged regardless of the "Audit Policy Change" sub-category setting.

Auditing:     Always

This event should always be monitored, since changes to the local audit policy, especially the disabling of one or more options, could allow attackers to perform destructive actions on a system without a trace.


Volume:     Low

Low, since audit policy changes usually do not happen on a regular basis.
