Information

Log management is essential to ensuring that computer security records are stored in sufficient detail for an appropriate period of time. Routine log analysis is beneficial for identifying security incidents, policy violations, fraudulent activity, and operational problems. Logs are also useful when performing auditing and forensic analysis, supporting internal investigations, establishing baselines, and identifying operational trends and long-term problems.

Right-click the Task and select Properties.

Under the Reports tab, locate the 'What to log in addition to scanning activity:' label. Select the 'Failure to scan encrypted files' option.
