IBM DataPower ALG Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The DataPower Gateway providing content filtering must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when root level intrusion events which provide unauthorized privileged access are detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. The ALG generates...Rule Medium Severity -
The DataPower Gateway providing content filtering must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when user level intrusions which provide non-privileged access are detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. The ALG generates...Rule Medium Severity -
The DataPower Gateway must check the validity of all data inputs except those specifically identified by the organization.
Invalid user input occurs when a user inserts data or characters into an application's data entry fields and the application is unprepared to process that data. This results in unanticipated applic...Rule Medium Severity -
The DataPower Gateway providing encryption intermediary services must implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography for digital signatures.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The network element must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standa...Rule Medium Severity -
The DataPower Gateway must not use 0.0.0.0 as a listening IP address for any service.
Using 0.0.0.0 as a listening address allows all interfaces to receive traffic for the service. This creates an unnecessary exposure when services are configured to listen on this address.Rule Medium Severity
