Abstract

Passive security refers to the practice of logging user activity to avoid the threat of non-repudiation. This is important because if an attack is launched by a privileged user, it allows appropriate disciplinary or even legal action to be taken. SQL Server provides SQL Server Audit to assist with implementing passive security.
