Title

The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must offload audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Audit records are commonly produced by session management and border elements. Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints are not capable of providing audit records and instead rely on session management and border elements. Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints capable of producing audit records provide supplemental confirmation of monitored events. Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints that support audit records must support offloading.

Check Content

Verify the Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint offloads audit records onto a different system or media. If the Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint does not offload audit records to a different system or media, this is a finding.

Fix Text
