Discussion

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 for the potentially harmful event. Associating information about where the event occurred within the network provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured network element. The CA API Gateway must have the "Audit Messages in Policy" Assertion added to all policies.

Check Content

Open the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager and verify all of the Registered Services have the "Audit Messages in Policy" Assertion added to the Service. 

If any of the Registered Services do not have the "Audit Messages in Policy" Assertion added, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Open the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager.

Open the Registered Services that do not have the "Audit Messages in Policy" Assertion and add it to the top of the Registered Services policies.
