Discussion

In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know where events occurred, such as device hardware components, device software modules, session identifiers, filenames, host names, and functionality. Associating information about where the event occurred within the HP FlexFabric Switch provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured device.
