Generate Security Audits - What you need to know
The Generate Security Audits security policy setting determines which accounts can be used by a process to generate audit records in the Security log. When certain events occur such as unauthorized access to a computer, file and folder access attempts and security policy changes, the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) writes these events to the log. This information in the Security log can be used to trace any unauthorized access to the system.
