Homework: Continuous Monitoring
The following example demonstrates how to apply the continuous monitoring technical reference model to a risk management domain. Read the following article and identify a few key lessons learned from it in relation to what principles and methods you have learned in the Case Homework.
NIST (2018). The Technical Specification for the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)
Practicing continuous monitoring fundamentals, processes, etc., to one's own experiences offers an opportunity to apply what you've learned to the real world. Select an information system security domain of your organization or industry and apply what you learned from the case readings and SLP examples. You can choose to assess comprehensively, or you can focus on two or three major perspectives and go much more in depth. You can choose the same security domain in the previous SLP homework in this course or start with a new one.
