Assignment: Vulnerability Scanning & Encryption Standards
Part I: Vulnerability Scanning Standard
Locate and read the Vulnerability Scanning Standard in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework Policy Template Guide.Research online for a real-world implementation example of the standard/policy and compare it with the NIST policy template side by side.
Answer the following questions clearly and systemically in this Word document. Make sure to include a References section toward the end of the document.
A. The Vulnerability Scanning Standard is implemented for which NIST function and sub-categories?
B. Which organization is the implementation example you identified for? Which industry sector (e.g., education, government, etc.) is the organization in?
C. What is the purpose of the example standard/policy? Which party (parties) does the standard/policy apply to? Who is/are responsible for implementing this policy?
D. As compared to the NIST policy template, how is the example standard/policy customized to fit the needs of the organization? Describe two occurrences of customization in detail.
E. If specified in the example standard/policy, what criteria are defined to verify the organization's compliance to the policy? If not specified in the example standard/policy, what are your recommendations?
Part II: Encryption Standard
Locate and read the Encryption Standard in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework Policy Template Guide. Research online (e.g., security policy encryption standard) for a real-world implementation example. Research online for a real-world implementation example of the standard/policy and compare it with the NIST policy template side by side.
