Discussion

If the report generation capability does not support after-the-fact investigations, it is difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack or identify those responses for one. This capability is also required to comply with applicable federal laws and DoW policies. The report generation capability must support after-the-fact investigations of security incidents either natively or through the use of third-party tools.
