Study Notes
NIST Special Publication 800-39 - Risk Management Framework
- Framework (F): Defines the environment for risk-based decisions.
- Assessing (A): Identifies threats, vulnerabilities, harm, and likelihood of occurrence.
- Responding (R): Develops an appropriate risk response.
- Monitoring (M): Tracks the ongoing effectiveness of risk responses.
Security Assessment Methods
- Examination: Analyzing, observing, and reviewing assessment objectives.
- Interviewing: Individual or group discussions.
- Testing: Assessing object performance against target state.
Security Assessment Reports (SAR)
- Evidence of controls meeting or not meeting security goals.
- Determination Statements: "Satisfied" or "Other than satisfied".
- Incident Response Team (IRT) responds to reported issues.
SARS Key Items
- Summary of findings: Concise overview of results.
- System overview: Description of the assessed system.
- Assessment methodology: Techniques used.
- Security assessment findings: Gaps and deficiencies identified.
- Recommendations: Prescriptive guidance.
- Action plan: Roadmap for addressing issues.
Security Awareness - Personnel and Program Uses
- Personnel categories: Management, specialized IT, and other employees.
- Successful program uses: Phishing simulations, security champions, engagement, training materials.
Phishing Simulations
- Teaches employees to recognize phishing attempts via simulated emails.
- Metrics: Click rate, re-click rate, report rate, non-responder rate, reply rate.
Security Program Champions
- Lead the implementation of security platforms as a full task force.
- Champion density: Correlation of champion activity across departments.
