Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1685.001 (Disable or Modify Windows Event Log) is an Enterprise Defense Impairment technique. Adversaries may disable or modify the Windows Event Log to limit data that can be leveraged for detections and audits. Windows Event Log records user and system activity such as login attempts and process creation. This data is used by security tools and analysts to generate detections. The EventLog service maintains event logs from various system components and applications. By default, the service automatically starts when a system powers on. An audit policy, maintained by the Local Security Policy (secpol.msc), defines which system events the EventLog service logs. Security audit policy settings can be changed by running secpol.msc, then navigating to `Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy` for basic audit policy settings or `Security Settings\Advanced Audit Policy Configuration... Affected platforms: Windows. Sub-technique of ATT&CK T1685. ATT&CK-mapped mitigations: M1018 User Account Management, M1047 Audit, M1024 Restrict Registry Permissions, M1022 Restrict File and Directory Permissions.
