CIS has several program areas, including MS-ISAC, CIS Controls, CIS Benchmarks, CIS Communities, and CIS CyberMarket. Through these program areas, CIS works with a wide range of entities, including those in academia, the government, and both the private sector and the general public to increase their online security by providing them with products and services that improve security efficiency ...
To devise a robust information assurance program, one must consider not only the security goals of the program (see below), but also how these goals relate specifically to the various states in which information can reside in a system and the full range of available security safeguards that must be considered in the design. The McCumber model ...
NIST Special Publication 800-53 is an information security standard that provides a catalog of privacy and security controls for information systems.Originally intended for U.S. federal agencies except those related to national security, since the 5th revision it is a standard for general usage.
The third category includes work products that describe system design guidelines and requirements for the secure integration of control systems. The core of this is the zone, conduit, and design model. The fourth category includes work products that describe the specific product development and technical requirements of control system products.
Maintenance (PR.MA): Maintenance and repairs of industrial control and information system components is performed consistent with policies and procedures. Protective Technology (PR.PT): Technical security solutions are managed to ensure the security and resilience of systems and assets, consistent with related policies, procedures, and agreements.
Five basic strategies to control risks that arise from vulnerabilities [2] Defense - Applying safeguards that eliminate or reduce the remaining uncontrolled risk; Transferral - Shifting risks to other areas or to outside entities; Mitigation - Reducing the impact of information assets should an attacker successfully exploit a vulnerability
