Security Token Service log data and records must be backed up onto a different system or media.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-256775 VCST-70-000050 SV-256775r889295_rule Medium
Description
Protection of Security Token Service log data includes ensuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up Security Token Service log records to an unrelated system or onto separate media than the system the web server is running on helps to ensure that, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the log records will be retained. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000125-WSR-000071, SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000163
