Watchguard Network Security Practice Test

What must be done to view a report of changes made by Device Management users on a Firebox?

1. Check the activity logs in Firebox System Manager

2. Review Audit Trail reports in Report Manager

3. Use WatchGuard Server Center to check configuration history

4. Send audit trail log messages to a Log Server

The correct answer is: Review Audit Trail reports in Report Manager

To view a report of changes made by Device Management users on a Firebox, reviewing Audit Trail reports in Report Manager is the appropriate action. Audit Trail reports provide a detailed log of all changes made to the system, which includes actions performed by users managing the device. This information is essential for tracking updates and modifications, ensuring accountability, and maintaining security compliance. The Audit Trail specifically captures the user’s actions, timestamps, and the nature of the changes, allowing administrators to assess who made changes and what those changes were. This is particularly important in environments where multiple users might have administrative access, as it helps in auditing and monitoring device configurations effectively. While activity logs in Firebox System Manager can provide some insights, they are often more focused on real-time events and less on comprehensive reports of user actions over time. Tools like the WatchGuard Server Center might track configuration changes as well, but they do not provide the focused, user-centric reporting that Audit Trail reports do. Sending audit trail log messages to a Log Server may aid in centralizing logs but does not directly provide the organized reporting needed to assess changes by Device Management users.
