Option 1

Penetration testing and vulnerability scanning are important technical mechanisms that support continuous monitoring and vulnerability management. However, penetration testing and vulnerability scanning are often used interchangeably when they are actually two different methods used for different purposes.

Compare and contrast the two different methods.

Explain how each are used for the following:

  • Identifying new vulnerabilities in IT systems
  • Justifying any changes in the security of the system that may need re-assessment and re-authorization

Due Monday

Option 2

Due Thursday

Reauthorization (i.e., going through all six steps of the NIST RMF process) is required after a specified period, which is typically two or three years or when there has been a significant change to an IT system.

Research the decision process for reauthorization.

Explain the process and include the major stakeholders in the process for deciding on reauthorization. Discuss how security metrics would cause the need for reauthorization.
