15.1: Maintain an Inventory of Authorized Wireless Access Points ================================================================ Maintain an inventory of authorized wireless access points connected to the wired network. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Network - Identify - 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 1.4: Maintain Detailed Asset Inventory * Sub-control 1.5: Maintain Asset Inventory Information Inputs ----------- #. The list of wireless access points Operations ---------- #. Utilize a discovery tool or process to examine the network topology to collect the "ground truth" list of wireless access points connected to the wired network. #. Evaluate the complement of Input 1 and Operation 1 to obtain the list of non-inventoried wireless access points. #. Evaluate the intersection of Input 1 and Operation 1 to obtain the list of inventoried wireless access points. #. Compare the results of Operation 3 to the inventory to determine which access points in the inventory are noted as *not* authorized. Measures -------- * M1 = Count of wireless access points in the inventory (from Input 1) * M2 = List of discovered wireless access points, from Operation 1 * M3 = Count of M2 * M4 = List of non-inventoried wireless access points, as discovered by Operation 2 * M5 = Count of M4 * M6 = List of inventoried wireless access points, as discovered by Operation 3 * M7 = Count of M6 * M8 = List of discovered, but unauthorized, wireless access points, as discovered by Operation 4 * M9 = Count of M8 Metrics ------- Coverage ^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | The ratio of discovered wireless access points to the total inventoried list of | wireless access points. * - **Calculation** - :code:`(M3 - M1) / M1` Inventory Gap ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Are there any discovered wireless access points that are *not* contained in the | inventory? * - **Calculation** - :code:`M5 > 0` Unauthorized Usage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Are there any discovered wireless access points which are contained in the | inventory but are noted as *not* authorized? * - **Calculation** - :code:`M9 > 0` .. history .. authors .. license
