Configuring devices to log to an off-site location for possible future reference is best described as log aggregation. Log aggregation involves collecting logs from multiple sources and storing them in a centralized location, often off-site, to ensure they are preserved and can be analyzed in the future.
Log aggregation: Centralizes log data from multiple devices, making it easier to analyze and ensuring logs are available for future reference.
DLP (Data Loss Prevention): Focuses on preventing unauthorized data transfer and ensuring data security.
Archiving: Involves storing data for long-term retention, which could be part of log aggregation but is broader in scope.
SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol): A standard for automating vulnerability management and policy compliance.
