1.2: Use a Passive Asset Discovery Tool ======================================= Utilize a passive discovery tool to identify devices connected to the organization’s network and automatically update the organization’s hardware asset inventory. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Devices - Identify - 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 12.1: Maintain an Inventory of Network Boundaries Inputs ------ #. The list of the organization's networks #. The list of passive asset discovery tools in use by the organization. For each, include the location of the tool's configuration information and which networks it covers. #. Approved configuration(s) for each passive asset discovery tool. Configurations should include the settings necessary for the tool to be able to update the organization's hardware asset inventory. Operations ---------- #. For each passive asset discovery tool provided in Input 2, check the tool's configuration against the appropriate approved configuration from Input 3. #. Create a list of those tools that are properly configured (M1) #. Create a list of those tools that are improperly configured (M2) noting the deviations from proper configuration #. For each of the organization's networks provided in Input 1, check Input 2 and M1 to ensure that at least one properly configured passive asset discovery tool covers that network. #. Create a list of the organization's networks that have coverage from at least one properly configured passive asset discovery tool (M3) #. Create a list of the organization's networks that do not have coverage from any properly configured passive asset discovery tools (M4) Measures -------- * M1 = List of properly configured passive asset discovery tools (compliant tool list) * M2 = List of improperly configured passive asset discovery tools (non-compliant tool list) * M3 = List of organization's networks with coverage from at least one properly configured passive asset discovery tool (compliant network list) * M4 = List of organization's networks that do not have coverage from any properly configured passive asset discovery tool (non-compliant network list) * M5 = Count of networks with coverage from at least one properly configured passive asset discovery tool (count of M3) * M6 = Total count of the organization's networks (count of Input 1) Metrics ------- Coverage ^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | The ratio of the organization's networks with coverage from at least one properly | configured passive asset discovery tool to the total number of networks * - **Calculation** - :code:`M5 / M6` .. history .. authors .. license
