Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system that performs non-deterministic auditing. The system audits an operation, a record associated with which is maintained in an audit log. In one embodiment, the system subsequently determines whether the operation satisfies one or more criteria. In response to the operation satisfying the criteria, the system protects the audit log. In a further embodiment, the system protects the audit log based on a probability distribution, which indicates a frequency of audit log protection.
