Some of you may be seeing a new word crop up in recent
Microsoft communications about its applications’ audit: “legacy”. This word is
now distributed liberally in TechNet articles. What does it mean? In Microsoft
terminology, and in the context of their just-released public and beta versions
of their applications’ security audit, it means “current” or “existing”.
A new audit, called “Unified Audit Logging” or UAL, is
expected to be introduced by Microsoft later in 2016. UAL will replace the
current audit function (or at least be released in tandem), which is why the
word “legacy” has started to show up in recent communications from the people
in Redmond.
LOGbinder supports Microsoft’s “legacy” audit and, we can
assure you we are on the bleeding edge of development for improved and
meaningful SIEM security audit solutions—including the coming Unified Audit
Log.
