Description
Knowing when a user’s application session began and when it ended is critical information that aids in forensic analysis.
ℹ️ Check
Review and monitor the application logs. Initiate a user session and observe if the log includes a time stamp showing the start of the session. Terminate the user session and observe if the log includes a time stamp showing the end of the session. If the start and the end time of the session are not recorded in the logs, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure the application or application server to record the start and end time of user session activity.
