  2. 3rd party box on Mitigating Password Re-Use From the Other End · · Score: 2

    Because these audit entries are stored on a third-party box, if a certain web application is compromised, it won't have access to alter its audit log history since it lives somewhere else.'

    Since the audit entries are being created by the box running the application, it obviously has write access to the 3rd party box. So whoever has access to the application box has access to write (and hence alter) the 3rd party box.
