The DataPower Gateway providing user access control intermediary services must provide the capability for authorized users to select a user session to capture or view.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-65255	WSDP-AG-000088	SV-79745r1_rule		Medium

Description
Without the capability to select a user session to capture or view, investigations into suspicious or harmful events would be hampered by the volume of information captured. The intent of this requirement is to ensure the capability to select specific sessions to capture is available in order to support general auditing/incident investigation, or to validate suspected misuse by a specific user. Examples of session events that may be captured include, port mirroring, tracking websites visited, and recording information and/or file transfers.
