  • The CA API Gateway must generate audit records containing information to establish the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.

    Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of users) associated with the events, security personnel cannot determine responsibility...

  • The CA API Gateway must protect audit information from unauthorized deletion.

    If audit data becomes compromised, forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity is impossible to achieve. To ensure the veracity of audit data, the i...

    Group
  • The CA API Gateway must be configured to remove or disable unrelated or unneeded application proxy services.

    Unrelated or unneeded proxy services increase the attack vector and add excessive complexity to the securing of the ALG. Multiple application proxies can be installed on many ALGs. However, proxy t...

    Group
  • The CA API Gateway must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of functions, ports, protocols, and/or services as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.

    In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable...

  • SRG-NET-000138-ALG-000063

    Group
  • The CA API Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).

    To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational user...

  • SRG-NET-000138-ALG-000089

    Group
  • The CA API Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must restrict user authentication traffic to specific authentication server(s).

    User authentication can be used as part of the policy filtering rule sets. Some URLs or network resources can be restricted to authenticated users only. Users are prompted by the application or bro...

    Group
  • The CA API Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to non-privileged accounts.

    A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
