Every Countermeasure should follow this template.
Description
An countermeasure (or security control) is a protection mechanism that prevents, deters, or detects attacks, or prevents or reduces vulnerabilities.
- Start with a one-sentence description of the countermeasure
- How does the countermeasure work?
- What are some examples of implementations of the countermeasure (steer clear of specific products)
Risk Factors
- Talk about the factors that this countermeasure affects
- What effect does this countermeasure have on the attack or vulnerability?
- Does this countermeasure reduce the technical or business impact?
Difficulty to Implement
- Discuss the typical difficulty of implementing this control, emphasizing the factors that make it easier or harder
- Steer clear of language/platform specific information here
Examples
- Short example name
- One paragraph example description with links
- Short example name
- One paragraph example description with links
