AU-5(3)—Response To Audit Processing Failures
Technical
>Control Description
RESPONSE TO AUDIT PROCESSING FAILURES | CONFIGURABLE TRAFFIC VOLUME THRESHOLDS The information system enforces configurable network communications traffic volume thresholds reflecting limits on auditing capacity and ☑rejects; delays network traffic above those thresholds.
>Supplemental Guidance
Organizations have the capability to reject or delay the processing of network communications traffic if auditing such traffic is determined to exceed the storage capacity of the information system audit function. The rejection or delay response is triggered by the established organizational traffic volume thresholds which can be adjusted based on changes to audit storage capacity.
>Tailoring Guidance
This security control/enhancement specifies a very specialized and/or advanced capability that is not required for all systems. Consequently, inclusion in a departmental profile is made on a case by case basis.
