(2) General procedure for outputting event data related to security management
For a security audit or in a status report to your superior, to present the status of the occurrence of problems related to security management and the status of problem correction, check and print out the event data related to security management. If there is no problem with the status of security policy compliance, the problems that you can check from the event data are already corrected.
- 1. Check events related to security management.
-
In the Events module, check whether a problem related to security management occurred, or if a problem occurred, check whether the problem has already been corrected.
Using the filtering function, check events with Security displayed for Type. If there is any event with Critical or Warning displayed for Severity and Not Ack displayed for Status, identify the cause from the error details, and then take necessary measures. When you finish taking measures, change the setting for Status to Ack.
- Tip
-
In this case, you need to be operating JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 in such a way that the event status is changed to Ack after the problem is corrected.

Export the security management event information, and then print out the output CSV file.

(3) General procedure for outputting the status of the deterrence of prohibited operation
For a security audit or in a status report to your superior, if you need to show that no prohibited operation has been performed in compliance with the security policy, use the Other Access Restrictions Top N report.

For a security audit or in a report to your superior, to show the security management target computers, output a list of managed computers.

The default policy is automatically assigned to the managed computers even if a specific security policy is not assigned to them. For this reason, by outputting a list of managed computers, you can present the security management target computers in list form.
In the Device Inventory view of the Device module, display only computers by using the filtering function and export the device information of the computers. Then, print out the exported CSV file.
Submit the printed list of the computers, if necessary.
