Discussion

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.

Verify there is a script that offloads audit data and that script runs weekly by using the following command: 
 
Note: If the system is not connected to a network, this requirement is not applicable. 
  
     $ ls /etc/cron.weekly 
     <audit_offload_script_name> 
  
Check if the script inside the file does offloading of audit logs to external media.  
  
If the script file does not exist or does not offload audit logs, this is a finding.
