3.4 Push
The network Push operation gives users the ability to push Falcon-NEO created
evidence files to or from drives connected to the Falcon-NEO or a Falcon-NEO
repository or network location. The Push feature provides a more secure method than
simply copying files through a computer by allowing the ability to verify the data that is
pushed. The Falcon-NEO will generate a log file for each push process.
