CA API Gateway ALG Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The CA API Gateway that provides intermediary services for TLS must be configured to comply with the required TLS settings in NIST SP 800-52.

    <VulnDiscussion>SP 800-52 provides guidance on using the most secure version and configuration of the TLS/SSL protocol. Using older unauthori...

  • The CA API Gateway providing intermediary services for remote access communications traffic must use NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the integrity of remote access sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Remote acce...
