Abstract

NIST SP 800-70 R4 August 2017 ePub version also available for use on Kindle, iPad, Android tablet, and iPhone. A security configuration checklist is a document that contains instructions or procedures for configuring an information technology (IT) product to an operational environment, for verifying that the product has been configured properly, and/or for identifying unauthorized changes to the product. Using these checklists can minimize the attack surface, reduce vulnerabilities, lessen the impact of successful attacks, and identify changes that might otherwise go undetected. To facilitate development of checklists and to make checklists more organized and usable, NIST established the National Checklist Program (NCP). Why buy a book you can download for free? First you gotta find it and make sure its the latest version, not always easy. Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people and its outta paper and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If its just 10 pages, no problem, but if its a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer thats paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistants anymore?). If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money. Its much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This public domain material is published by 4th Watch Books.
