Information

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Create a script which off-loads audit logs to external media and runs weekly.

Script must be located into the /etc/cron.weekly directory.
