The CA API Gateway providing content filtering must automatically update malicious code protection mechanisms.
Description
Discussion Text
The malicious software detection functionality on network elements needs to be constantly updated in order to identify new threats as they are discovered.
All malicious software detection functions must come with an update mechanism that automatically updates the application and any associated signature definitions. The organization (including any contractor to the organization) is required to promptly install security-relevant malicious code protection updates. Examples of relevant updates include antivirus signatures, detection heuristic rule sets, and/or file reputation data employed to identify and/or block malicious software from executing.
Malicious code includes viruses, worms, trojan horses, and spyware.
The CA API Gateway must be configured to integrate with an ICA- enabled Intrusion Detection System such as McAfee, Sophos, or Symantec. These systems must then be configured to update their protection mechanisms and signature definitions in accordance with organizational requirements. The CA API Gateway does not offer this feature beyond the integration with the third-party systems.
