What is the next step for an IT auditor to take after validating that the virus scanner on server is updating automatically in order to affirm that controls are effective?
Confirm the current version of the virus signature file with the vendor.
The IS auditor's work is appropriate, and no further work is required.
Request validation from the security administrator about the most current update to the virus signature file.
Assess the log files, and confirm that the virus signature file was updated.
The IS auditor is able to use externally provided information to confirm that the most recent vendor-provided virus signature file has been automatically updated in the scanner. Reviewing the log files and confirming that the virus signature file was updated only suggests that an update was performed. The latest version of the virus signature file available should be installed in real time. Confirmation is requested from the security administrator about the most recent update to the virus signature file, and the information is provided internally by the security administrator. It is not as reliable as that from an external source. Inspection only indicates that the control has been implemented and not necessarily that it is operating effectively.
