Title
The HYCU virtual appliance must off-load audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Information system backup is a critical step in maintaining data assurance and availability. Information system and security-related documentation contains information pertaining to system configuration and security settings. If this information were not backed up and a system failure were to occur, the security settings would be difficult to reconfigure quickly and accurately. Maintaining a backup of information system and security-related documentation provides for a quicker recovery time when system outages occur. System-level information includes default and customized settings and security attributes, including ACLs that relate to the network device configuration, as well as software required for the execution and operation of the device. Information system backup is a critical step in ensuring system integrity and availability. If the system fails and there is no backup of the system-level information, a denial-of-service condition is possible for all who use this critical network component. 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.

Check Content
Verify that HYCU is backing itself up by logging in to the HYCU Web UI and checking the HYCU Controller widget at the HYCU Dashboard. If the message "Controller VM is not protected" is found and highlighted in orange, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Log in to the HYCU Web UI and go to the "Virtual Machines" menu, then apply a backup policy to the HYCU Server to back it up. Any documentation/configuration files stored on the HYCU server will be backed up as a result.
