The DataPower Gateway providing content filtering must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when unauthorized network services are detected.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-65287	WSDP-AG-000110	SV-79777r1_rule		Medium

Description
Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation and therefore, may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Automated mechanisms can be used to send automatic alerts or notifications. Such automatic alerts or notifications can be conveyed in a variety of ways (e.g., telephonically, via electronic mail, via text message, or via websites). The ALG must either send the alert to a management console that is actively monitored by authorized personnel or use a messaging capability to send the alert directly to designated personnel.

Check Text ( C-65915r1_chk )
Using the WebGUI, go to Network >> Management >> Web Management Service. The "WS-Management endpoint" checkbox should be checked. Verify an IP and port for the WS-Management endpoint to connect to. If the WS-Management endpoint is not enabled (checked) or not configured, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71227r1_fix)
Using the WebGUI, go to Network >> Management >> Web Management Service. Check the "WS-Management endpoint" checkbox. Configure an IP and port for the WS-Management endpoint to connect to. Using the service monitoring data provided by the DataPower Gateway, the WS-Management endpoint would be responsible for detecting the use of unauthorized network services and then generating an alert.
