Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1061

What is the PRIMARY reason an IS auditor would recommend an automated management review process for network administration activity on a daily basis instead of quarterly?

Answer options

• A. To identify system changes
• B. To detect unauthorized transactions
• C. To identify failed login attempts
• D. To detect network intrusions

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The primary reason for recommending a daily automated review is to promptly identify system changes, which can help in maintaining security and stability. While detecting unauthorized transactions, failed login attempts, and network intrusions are important, those activities can be monitored effectively through daily reviews as part of identifying overall system changes.
