Abstract

Data traffic is monitored on a network with data access elements thereof collected and compared to security rules. An audit data collection is sent to a repository responsive to data access elements matching a condition of the security rules, where security rules having the condition designate the audit data collection and repository. A tag to data traffic is applied responsive to the matching condition. Comparing of collected data access elements to the corresponding security rules having the matching condition is discontinued responsive to applying the tag. The tag indicates a repository and the data traffic includes a connection and session. An audit data collection is sent to the repository indicated by the tag for a data access responsive to the tag in the tagged data traffic. The method continues sending audit data for future data accesses in the tagged data traffic without comparing to the corresponding security rules again.
