ligipääsujälgimine

Ligipääsujälgimine is an Estonian term that translates to access monitoring or access logging. It refers to the process of recording and tracking who or what accesses a system, data, or resource, and when. This practice is crucial for security, auditing, and troubleshooting purposes.

In the context of cybersecurity, ligipääsujälgimine involves logging events such as login attempts (successful and failed), file access, modification of settings, and data transfers. These logs provide a historical record that can be used to detect unauthorized access, identify security breaches, and understand the sequence of events leading to an incident.

The implementation of ligipääsujälgimine typically involves configuring systems to generate audit trails. These trails can then be stored, analyzed, and reviewed. The granularity of logging can vary depending on the system and the security requirements. For instance, some systems might only log critical events, while others might log every single action performed by a user or process.

Ligipääsujälgimine plays a vital role in compliance with various regulations, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), which mandate the tracking of data access. It also aids in performance monitoring by identifying resource usage patterns and potential bottlenecks. Effectively managing and analyzing access logs is a key component of a robust security strategy.
