Vulnerability discussion

Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up log records to a different system or onto separate media from the system that the vAMI is actually running on helps to assure that in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the log records will be retained.

Check content

Interview the ISSO and/or the SA. Determine if there is a local procedure to back up log records at least every seven days onto a different system. If a procedure does not exist or is not being followed, this is a finding.

Fix text

Develop and implement a site procedure to back up the log data and records to a different system or separate media at least every seven days.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.
