Discussion

Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack, recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or simply identify an improperly configured network element. Thus, it is imperative that the collected log data from the various network elements, as well as the auditing tools, be secured and can only be accessed by authorized personnel. Audited events are protected by default by only allowing access to the audited events to authorized users of the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager. Any user requiring access to the audit Information must be explicitly granted access to the Policy Manager auditing tool as per organizational requirements.
