The firewall must protect traffic log records from unauthorized access while in transit to the central audit server.

Description
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack, recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identify an improperly configured firewall. Thus, it is imperative that the collected log data be secured and access be restricted to authorized personnel. Methods of protection may include encryption or logical separation. This does not apply to traffic logs generated on behalf of the device itself (management). Some devices store traffic logs separately from the system logs.
