| Description |

| Audit reduction is used to reduce the volume of audit records in order to facilitate manual review. Before a security review information systems and/or applications with an audit reduction capability may remove many audit records known to have little security significance. This is generally accomplished by removing records generated by specified classes of events, such as records generated by nightly backups. An audit reduction capability provides support for near real-time audit review and analysis based on policy requirements regarding what must be audited on the system and after-the-fact investigations of security incidents. Audit reduction and reporting tools do not alter original audit records. |
