SC-36(1)—Distributed Processing And Storage

Distributed processing and/or storage may be employed to reduce opportunities for adversaries to successfully compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information and information systems. However, distribution of processing and/or storage components does not prevent adversaries from compromising one (or more) of the distributed components. Polling compares the processing results and/or storage content from the various distributed components and ensures that they agree.

Polling identifies potential faults, errors, or compromises in distributed processing and/or storage components. Related control: SI-4.
