11.4: Install the Latest Stable Version of Any Security-Related Updates on All Network Devices ============================================================================================== Install the latest stable version of any security-related updates on all network devices. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Network - Protect - 1, 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 1.4: Maintain Detailed Asset Inventory * Sub-control 1.5: Maintain Asset Inventory Information Inputs ----------- #. Network device inventory, derived from the endpoint inventory (see sub-control 1.4) #. Network device version information (this is a list of acceptable versions for each model of network device in Input 1; this version information needs to be updated frequently to reflect current version information and age off outdated versions) Operations ---------- #. For each network device in Input 1, compare the network device's version to the allowable versions from Input 2. #. Generate a list of those network devices that match an allowable version (M1) #. Generate a list of those network devices that do not match an allowable version (M2). Measures -------- * M1 = List of network devices * M2 = Count of M1 * M3 = List of network devices that match an allowable version (compliant list) * M4 = Count of M3 * M5 = List of network devices that do not match an allowable version (non-compliant list) * M6 = Count of M5 Metrics ------- Coverage ^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | What percentage of inventoried network devices match the allowable version for that | device/OS? * - **Calculation** - If M2 > 0, then :code:`M4 / M2`; otherwise :code:`0` .. history .. authors .. license
