The Forescout must configure a remote syslog where audit records are stored on a centralized logging target that is different from the system being audited.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.
