Discussion

Malicious code protection mechanisms include, but are not limited to, antivirus and malware detection software. In order to minimize any potential negative impact to the organization caused by malicious code, malicious code must be identified and eradicated. Malicious code includes viruses, worms, trojan horses, and spyware. 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 then be configured to update their protection mechanisms and signature definitions in accordance with organizational requirements.

Check Content

Open the CA API GW - Policy Manager and double-click any of the Registered Services that require updating of malicious code mechanisms and signatures. 

Verify the "Scan Using ICAP-Enabled Antivirus" Assertion is included in the policy. Check that the list of ICAP Servers has been configured to include servers listed in the following format: "icap://<servername:port/avscan". 

Also, verify all other options have been configured in accordance with organizational requirements. If not, check to see if the assertion has been added to a Global Policy and configured properly.

If the "Scan Using ICAP-Enabled Antivirus" Assertion is not present in either Global or Registered Services policy, this is a finding.
