Asset Management-5
Resources (e.g., hardware, devices, data, time, and personnel) are prioritized based on their classification, criticality, and business value.
Asset Management-4
NIST Control ID.AM-4, which states "External information systems are catalogued," is a fundamental element within the Asset Management category of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework's Identify function. This control emphasizes the importance of maintaining an accurate and up-to-date inventory of all external information systems that interact with or impact an organization's network and data.
Asset Management
NIST Control ID.AM-3 is the cybersecurity equivalent of a high-definition, real-time map of your digital kingdom. It illuminates the hidden pathways that data traverses, revealing potential ambush points for attackers and bottlenecks in your operations. This visibility is crucial not just for fending off cyber threats, but also for streamlining processes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and rapidly responding to incidents.
Asset Management-2
Control AM-2 specifically addresses the inventory of software platforms and applications within an organization. This is critical because software is often a target for cyberattacks, and vulnerabilities in software can be exploited to gain access to sensitive information or disrupt operations. By maintaining an accurate and up-to-date inventory of software assets, organizations can better identify and prioritize vulnerabilities, and take steps to mitigate risks.
Implementation Guide-1
This guide provides an actionable approach to implementing NIST ID.AM-1: "Physical devices and systems within the organization are inventoried." It outlines specific steps and best practices for organizations to effectively inventory their physical devices and systems.
