| Description |
|---|
| The ability to perform on-demand audit review and analysis, including after the audit data has been subjected to audit reduction, greatly facilitates the organization's ability to generate incident reports as needed to better handle larger-scale or more complex security incidents. Audit reduction is a technique used to reduce the volume of log records to facilitate a manual review. Audit reduction does not alter original log records. The report generation capability provided by the application must support on-demand (i.e., customizable, ad hoc, and as-needed) reports. This requirement is specific to applications with audit reduction capabilities; however, applications need to support on-demand audit review and analysis. |
