Title

The DataPower Gateway must protect audit information from unauthorized read access. (Cat II impact)

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 to 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. This does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device itself (management).
