A network administrator wants to implement a security measure that tracks and records user activities, such as commands executed and resources accessed, for audit and compliance purposes. Which security concept best describes this functionality?
Authorization
Accounting
Authentication
Assurance
Accounting refers to the process of recording and tracking user activities on a network. It ensures that all actions performed by authenticated and authorized users are logged for auditing, compliance, and troubleshooting purposes. Authentication is verifying the identity of a user or device, authorization determines the permissions granted to that user or device, and auditing is the review of logs and records. While auditing is related, accounting is the actual collection and storing of user activity data. Assurance is not part of AAA processes.
