| Description | ||||
| Without establishing the source of the event, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, security personnel need to know the source (i.e. service, function, node name, IP address, etc.) of the event. | ||||
