The management of CUI on system media is a comprehensive process that involves protection, access control, and sanitization or destruction. Organizations can ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of CUI by implementing effective access control, cryptography, and tracking systems.

It is vital to ensure that equipment removed for offsite maintenance is devoid of any CUI, emphasizing the importance of data sanitization.

Incident response is a multi-phase process of detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyberattacks. It is a structured process to handle incidents and protect information and information systems.

The foundation of robust cybersecurity lies in the precise identification of users and devices along with their authentication. By using unique identifiers and diverse authentication mechanisms, which can range from traditional passwords to sophisticated biometric and cryptographic methods, we can create a secure and resilient digital environment.

The most effective approach combines multiple strategies tailored to the organization’s specific needs and environment. Regularly reviewing and updating policies and controls ensure systems remain effective in the ever-evolving threat landscape.

The required control of audit records and user accountability as outlined in NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 are key requirements in fortifying an organization’s defense against cybersecurity-related threats.

Reporting insider threat activities can prevent serious harm or damage to the organization’s assets including information, people, and equipment. Reporting best practices include reporting to established personnel within the organization and not to the suspected individual

There are several approaches to limiting system access to devices by focusing on three main technologies: firewalls, network segmentation, and device security.
