Benchmark: 10.3.3: Audit log files, including those for externalfacing technologies, are promptly backed up to a secure, central, internal log server(s) or other media that is difficult to modify
Description
Promptly backing up the logs to a centralized log server or media that is difficult to alter keeps the logs protected, even if the system generating the logs becomes compromised.
Usage
Install the mod:
mkdir dashboardscd dashboardspowerpipe mod initpowerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-compliance
Start the Powerpipe server:
steampipe service startpowerpipe server
Open http://localhost:9033 in your browser and select 10.3.3: Audit log files, including those for externalfacing technologies, are promptly backed up to a secure, central, internal log server(s) or other media that is difficult to modify.
