Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 390

Which of the following ensures old log data is not overwritten?

Answer options

• A. Log retention
• B. Implement Syslog
• C. Increase log file size
• D. Log preservation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Log preservation is designed specifically to maintain the integrity of older log data, ensuring it is not lost or overwritten. Log retention refers to the policy of keeping logs for a certain period but does not inherently prevent overwriting. Implement Syslog is a method for logging, while increasing log file size may help accommodate more data but does not address the overwriting issue.
