Title
CounterACT must off-load audit records onto a centralized log server. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
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. This does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device itself (management).
Check Content
