The CA API Gateway providing content filtering must send an immediate (within seconds) alert to the system administrator, at a minimum, in response to malicious code detection.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, which will impede the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies. The ALG generates an immediate (within seconds) alert that notifies designated personnel of the incident. Sending a message to an unattended log or console does not meet this requirement since it will not be seen immediately. These messages should include a severity level indicator or code as an indicator of the criticality of the incident. The CA API Gateway must be configured to integrate with an ICAP-enabled Intrusion Detection System such as McAfee, Sophos, or Symantec. These systems must be configured in accordance with organizational requirements, including the detection of malicious code. The CA API Gateway must then evaluate the response of the scanning from the ICAP-enabled Intrusion Detection System and send an email to the system administrator.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
