Why It Matters
In the event of:
- Account compromise
- Insider misuse
- Suspicious privilege escalation
- Unauthorized configuration changes
- Regulatory audit requests
Without centralized identity logging:
- NIST SP 800-82 (ICS Security)
- Evidence is fragmented
- Audit findings increase
- Legal exposure escalates
What are audit logs & Incident Evidence?
Rainbow Secure captures detailed activity records across identity workflows, including:
User Activity Logs
- Successful and failed login attempts
- MFA challenge and enforcement events
- Device and location attributes
- Session initiation and termination
- Risk-triggered authentication responses
Administrative Activity Logs
- Role assignments and modifications
- Privilege elevation events
- Policy configuration updates
- User provisioning and deprovisioning
- IP block management actions
- Vault access records
All logs are
- Time-stamped
- Attributed to verified identities
- Searchable
- Exportable
Evidence is preserved for investigations, compliance validation, and regulatory defense.
