Threat Management

What is IT threat management?

IT threat management is identifying, assessing, and mitigating the vulnerabilities of information technology (IT) systems and applications. IT threat management protects an organization’s assets from malicious attacks and other vulnerabilities. IT threat management covers many tasks, such as vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, but it all comes down to finding and fixing vulnerabilities.

The mission-critical applications, data, and systems that support daily operations are critical to the organization. The need to protect these assets is a top priority. However, there are often multiple priorities in a crisis, which can make it difficult to protect the most critical systems. The right balance must be found between protecting essential systems and allowing them to operate as normally as possible.

How Threat Management Works

Today's threat management systems use the cybersecurity framework created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST provides guidance to improve cyber security and risk management for organizations. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework Guide consists of standards and best practices for five primary functions (identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover).

Identify

Security teams need to understand the organization's most important assets and resources. Threat Management's Identify function which includes asset management, business environment, governance, risk assessment, risk management strategy, and supply chain risk management.

Identify

Threat Management's protect function covers the technical and physical security controls for developing and implementing safeguards while protecting critical infrastructure. Functionalities of the protect function include awareness/training, identity management and access control, data security, data protection procedures/processes, and protective/maintenance technology.

Protect

Detect

Threat Management's detect function implements procedures that alert to cyberattacks on an organization. Detect includes continuous security monitoring, early detection processes, anomalies, and events.

Detect

Respond

Threat Management's respond function ensures a response to cyberattacks and events. Respond functionality includes response planning, analysis, mitigation, communications, and improvements.
