Audit Filtering Platform Connection

Audit Filtering Platform Connection determines whether the operating system generates audit events when connections are allowed or blocked by the Windows Filtering Platform.

Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) enables independent software vendors (ISVs) to filter and modify TCP/IP packets, monitor or authorize connections, filter Internet Protocol security (IPsec)-protected traffic, and filter remote procedure calls (RPCs).

This subcategory contains Windows Filtering Platform events about blocked and allowed connections, blocked and allowed port bindings, blocked and allowed port listening actions, and blocked to accept incoming connections applications.

Event volume: High.

Computer Type General Success General Failure Stronger Success Stronger Failure Comments
Domain Controller No Yes IF Yes Success auditing for this subcategory typically generates a very high volume of events, for example, one event for every connection that was made to the system. It is much more important to audit Failure events (blocked connections, for example). For recommendations for using and analyzing the collected information, see the Security Monitoring Recommendations sections.
IF - Enable Success audit in case you need to monitor successful outbound or inbound connections to and from untrusted IP addresses on high value computers or devices.
Member Server No Yes IF Yes Success auditing for this subcategory typically generates a very high volume of events, for example, one event for every connection that was made to the system.
