Rule Text
If any logs are stored locally which are not sent to the centralized audit server, CounterACT must back up audit records at least every seven days onto a different system or system component than the system or component being audited.
Description
Discussion Text
Protection of log data includes ensuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Regularly backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media than the system being audited helps to ensure, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the audit records will be retained.
This helps to ensure a compromise of the information system being audited does not also result in a compromise of the audit records.
This requirement can be met by using of a syslog/audit log server if the device is configured to send logs to that server.
Backup requirements would be levied on the target server but are not a part of this check.
