T 4.20 Data loss due to exhausting storage medium<br />

Every storage medium has a limited capacity for holding data. When this limit<br />

has been reached, the result may be the loss of data and services becoming no<br />

longer available, such as:<br />

- Users unable to save any more data;<br />

- Incoming email is rejected;<br />

- Incoming or outgoing fax transmissins are rejected, or<br />

- It is no longer possible to keep audits or audit data that have not yet been<br />

evaluated and are then overwritten.<br />

<strong>The</strong> capacity of the storage medium can suddenly be exhausted due to various<br />

reasons, e.g. due to errors in the application program, increased storage<br />

requirements of the users or a malicious attack intended to specifically reduce<br />

the existing storage space, thus preventing audit trails from being kept.<br />
