Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Protecting log data is important during a forensic investigation to ensure investigators can track and understand what may have occurred. Off-loading should be set up as a scheduled task but can be configured to be run manually, if other processes during the off-loading are manual. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited log storage capacity.

Verify the log records are being off-loaded, at a minimum of real time for interconnected systems and weekly for standalone systems.

If the application server is not meeting these requirements, this is a finding.
