Can the audit policies test for “XYZ”?
A. Tenable often receives “policy” testing requests for technical parameters outside of the scope of the audit checks. The compliance checks can audit the underlying configuration of the operating system; however they cannot test for items such as detecting dual boot servers, user login behavior, CPU utilization, or when a program was last used. On a case by case basis, some applications may have log files and registry settings which may contain this sort of information, but as a base function of the compliance checks, they do not detect this sort of information by default.
