What is the function of the audit log tab?

The audit log tab is primarily designed to capture and record actions taken within the Tanium platform, providing a detailed account of user activities and system events. This function is essential for forensic analysis, as it allows administrators to review the history of changes, access, and operations performed in the system. By analyzing the data in the audit log, users can identify security breaches, unauthorized access, or any other suspicious activities that might require investigation.

For instance, if there was an unexpected change in system settings or if sensitive data was accessed, the audit log serves as a crucial resource to trace back to specific actions, who performed them, and when they occurred. This capability is integral to maintaining security and compliance within an organization's IT environment.
