Description
Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operation on audit data. Network elements providing tools to interface with audit data will leverage user permissions and roles identifying the user accessing the tools and the corresponding rights the user enjoys in order to make decisions regarding access to audit tools. There is only one tool used to view audited events within the CA API Gateway. That tool is the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager. Use of this tool must be granted and policed by the organization, only allowing individuals access as needed in accordance with the organizational requirements.
