Vulnerability discussion

The ability to generate on-demand reports, including after the log data has been subjected to log reduction, greatly facilitates the organization's ability to generate incident reports as needed to better handle larger-scale or more complex security incidents.Log reduction is a process that manipulates collected log information and organizes such information in a summary format that is more meaningful to analysts. The report generation capability provided by the application must support on-demand (i.e., customizable, ad-hoc, and as-needed) reports.To fully understand and investigate an incident within the components of the application server, the application server, when providing a reduction capability, must provide an on-demand reporting capability.

Pro Tips
