Explanation
In the four pillars of identity (the '4 As'), auditing refers to the process of recording and tracking what resources a user has accessed, what actions were performed, and when-creating an accountable log trail for security investigations and compliance. Authentication verifies who the user is (identity verification). Authorization determines what the user is allowed to do (permissions and access rights). Administration involves managing identity accounts, policies, and governance. Auditing is the pillar specifically focused on monitoring and logging access activity after authentication and authorization have occurred.
