Title

Applications must provide the capability to centralize the review and analysis of audit records from multiple components within the system. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Successful incident response and auditing relies on timely, accurate system information and analysis in order to allow the organization to identify and respond to potential incidents in a proficient manner. Segregation of logging data to multiple disparate computer systems is counter-productive and makes log analysis and log event alarming difficult to implement and manage, particularly when the system or application has multiple logging components written to different locations or systems. Rationale for non-applicability: This control is required in the MDM SRG. Mobile applications can leverage the audit review, analysis, and reporting tools of centralized logging systems.
