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

ℹ️ Check
Verify there is a script that offloads audit data and that script runs weekly by using the following command: Note: If the system is not connected to a network, this requirement is not applicable. $ ls /etc/cron.weekly <audit_offload_script_name> Check if the script inside the file does offloading of audit logs to external media. If the script file does not exist or does not offload audit logs, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Create a script that offloads audit logs to external media and runs weekly. The script must be located in the "/etc/cron.weekly" directory.
