8.1: Utilize Centrally Managed Anti-Malware Software ========================================================= Utilize centrally managed anti-malware software to continuously monitor and defend each of the organization’s workstations and servers. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Devices - Protect - 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 1.4: Maintain Detailed Asset Inventory * Sub-control 1.5: Maintain Asset Inventory Information * Sub-control 2.1: Maintain Inventory of Authorized Software Assumption(s) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * It is assumed that this sub-control is specific to host-based anti-malware solutions. Inputs ------ #. List of deployed anti-malware software #. The list of endpoints Operations ---------- #. For each deployed anti-malware solution, verify that it is centrally managed #. For each deployed anti-malware solution, enumerate the set of endpoints covered #. Union the set of covered endpoints #. Identify set of endpoints eligible for anti-malware coverage (i.e. network devices likely do not run anti-malware agents) Measures -------- * M1 = Count of anti-malware solutions in use * M2 = Count of anti-malware solutions that are centrally managed * M3 = Total number of endpoints covered by anti-malware solutions * M4 = Total number of endpoints eligible for anti-malware coverage * M5 = List of anti-malware solutions that are centrally managed * M6 = List of anti-malware solutions that are not centrally managed * M7 = List of endpoints covered by anti-malware solutions * M8 = List of endpoints not covered by anti-malware solutions Metrics ------- Anti-Malware Management Coverage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Percentage of anti-malware solutions that are centrally managed * - **Calculation** - :code:`M2 / M1` Endpoint Anti-Malware Coverage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Percentage of endpoints covered by anti-malware solutions * - **Calculation** - :code:`M3 / M4` .. history .. authors .. license
