Octave@
Description: Information Security Risk Evaluation: What is OCTAVE®? Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability EvaluationSM (OCTAVE), is an approach for self-directed information security risk evaluations that puts organizations in charge: Balances critical information assets, business needs, threats, and vulnerabilities. Measures the organization against known or accepted good security practices. Establishes an organization-wide protection strategy and information security risk mitigation plans. This approach, includes criteria that define the requirements for a comprehensive, self-directed information security risk evaluation, and for methods consistent with these criteria. The OCTAVE Method, available now, was built with large organizations in mind. A second method, OCTAVE-S, will focus on small organizations. These two methods will provide the end-points of a continuum of various methods aimed at different sizes and types of organizations. We expect many of these other methods to be developed by other organizations, using the criteria as basic requirements. OCTAVE helps you look beyond the technology infrastructure at the entire organization. OCTAVE has three phases to first determine what information assets really need to be protected. Only then is the technology infrastructure evaluated to determine if it can protect those assets and how vulnerable it is. Then, risks to critical assets are defined. Finally, good security practices are used to establish an organization-wide protection strategy and mitigation plans for specific risks to critical assets.
