Title

Windows 11 must have command line process auditing events enabled for failures.

Control

Ensure Audit Process Creation auditing has been enabled: Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration >> System Audit Policy >> Detailed Tracking >> Audit Process Creation. If "Audit Process Creation" is not set to "Failure", this is a finding.

Discussion

When this policy setting is enabled, the operating system generates audit events when a process fails to start and the name of the program or user that created it. These audit events can assist in understanding how a computer is being used and tracking user activity.
