Cybersecurity Asset and Risk Management

In the digital age, cybersecurity is paramount for organizations to safeguard their assets and mitigate risks. Cybersecurity Asset and Risk Management involves identifying, assessing, and managing the cybersecurity risks associated with an organization’s assets. Here are some key components and benefits of implementing a robust cybersecurity asset and risk management strategy:

The first step in cybersecurity asset and risk management is identifying and classifying all assets within the organization. This includes hardware, software, data, and network components. Proper classification helps in understanding the value and criticality of each asset, which is essential for prioritizing security measures and resource allocation.

Once assets are identified, the next step is to conduct a thorough risk assessment. This involves identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities that could impact the assets. By analyzing the likelihood and potential impact of these risks, organizations can develop a risk profile that informs their cybersecurity strategy.

 

CSAM is a crucial component of ITAM. While both practices share commonalities in terms of discovering, cataloguing, managing, and tracking assets, they each play unique roles within their respective domains. ITAM manages all IT assets, while the more specialized CSAM focuses on cybersecurity. ITAM handles licensing and support, while CSAM prioritizes security by analyzing asset function and protection within the network. While both CSAM (Cybersecurity Asset Management) and ITAM (IT Asset Management) involve tracking and managing IT assets, they have distinct goals and priorities. Understanding these differences is crucial for choosing the right tools and processes to enhance your organization’s security posture and overall IT efficiency. This post outlines the key distinctions between CSAM and ITAM. SecHard provides automated security hardening auditing, scoring, and remediation for servers, clients, network devices, applications, databases, and more.

Cybersecurity Asset and Risk Management

According to CIS, in order to have a secure operating system, it is necessary to change approximately four hundred security settings on a Microsoft Windows Server running with the default settings. There are most probably hundreds of missing security settings on the computer that you have. In an enterprise network with hundreds or thousands of IT assets, reporting and remediating all these deficiencies can be an operation that will take years for IT teams.

With SecHard, enterprises can easily add their own, unique controls and run them on thousands of different assets. In this way, special audit and automatic remediations can be produced for both common and non-common technologies such as Operating Systems, Network Devices, Applications, IoT, SCADA, Swift, POS and many more.
