Description

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

ℹ️ Check

Check the network device configuration to determine if the device off-loads audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited. If the device does not off-load audit records onto a different system or media, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix

Configure the network device to off-load audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited.
