ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question

Logging creates a chronological record of significant system and user events, such as successful or failed logons, configuration changes, and application errors. These records allow administrators and security analysts to reconstruct actions, verify compliance requirements, and investigate potential incidents. Network segmentation, least-privilege permissions, and multi-factor authentication are important security controls, but none of them serve the specific function of keeping an event history for later review; only enabling event logging fulfills that role.
