Question
After the productive team meeting, Al ASAAS’s chief technology officer (CTO) wants further analysis performed and a high-level plan created to mitigate future risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. As part of this request, you and your team members will create a plan for performing a gap analysis, and then research and select an appropriate risk assessment methodology to be used for future reviews of the Al ASAAS IT environment.
An IT gap analysis may be a formal investigation or an informal survey of an organization's overall IT security. The first step of a gap analysis is to compose clear objectives and goals concerning an organization's IT security. For each objective or goal, the person performing the analysis must gather information about the environment, determine the present status, and identify what must be changed to achieve goals. The analysis most often reveals gaps in security between "where you are" and "where you want to be."
Two popular risk assessment methodologies are NIST SP 800-30 revision 1, Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments, and Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE). Your focus will be on the OCTAVE Allegro version, which is a more concise version of OCTAVE. When reviewing the methodologies, consider the following:
§ Which features or factors of each methodology are most important and relevant to Al ASAAS?
§ Which methodology appears to require fewer resources, such as time and staff, but still provides for a thorough assessment?
Explanation / Answer
Answer(i) :- After using the more concise version of OCTAVe i.e., OCTAVE Allegro version , We would be able to get the more robust and sufficient results with a small investment in time, people, and other limited resources as well as we would get the accurately reflection in the fulfilling the business mission and objectives. Consequently , Uniqueness and Consistency of the qualities,Features and characteristics of the business would be relevant to Al ASAAS.
Answer(ii) :- Inspite of using the fewer resources , The only and latest OCTAVE version i.e., OCTAVE Allegro is the most appropriate methodology to reduce the commitments of resources as well as for time constraint. if there is a less data manipulation ,then also it would be best methodology. With this methodology , We can also improve the threat identification methods so that complete assessments could be Cost Effective ( Budget contraint) .
