+    Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can

+    select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able

+    to prevent the auditing of critical events.

+    Misconfigured audits may degrade the system's performance by

+    overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more

+    difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating

+    to an incident or identify those responsible for one.
