Discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter). This requirement applies to the ALG traffic management functions, such as content filtering or intermediary services. This does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device (device management). By default, the CA API Gateway audits all starting events for each Registered Service. An ending event can be generated through the use of a "logout service/API", which is called by the user's application at the time of logout or session termination. If the Registered Service/API already has the logout capability included, the ending event will be generated automatically at logout without the need for an additional logout service.

Check Content

Open the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager.

Verify that each Registered Service requiring starting and ending event auditing includes the logout/terminate session capability as part of the Registered Service/API. 

If it does not, this is a finding.
