Description
Discussion Text
If log data were to become compromised, then competent forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.
When not configured to use a centralized logging solution like a syslog server, the JBoss EAP application server writes log data to log files that are stored on the OS; appropriate file permissions must be used to restrict modification.
Log information includes all information (e.g., log records, log settings, transaction logs, and log reports) needed to successfully log information system activity. Application servers must protect log information from unauthorized modification.
