As an IT administrator, you discover that several critical company files were modified without authorization. Which practice will most effectively help you determine who made the changes?
Maintaining and reviewing logs
Performing regular system audits
Enforcing frequent password changes for all user accounts
Implementing stricter firewall rules
Maintaining and reviewing logs is the most effective way to identify the responsible party because audit logs record user activity, timestamps, and the nature of each file change. By correlating this information, an administrator can pinpoint the exact user account and time of the unauthorized action, enabling a focused investigation. Regular system audits may include log reviews but are broader and less immediate, password-change policies do not reveal past activity, and stricter firewall rules protect network traffic but do not record file-level actions.
