Your organization has just completed a large cloud migration. The CISO tasks you with implementing a program that will maintain ongoing awareness of information-system security by automatically collecting and analyzing control-performance metrics so that risk-based decisions can be made whenever the environment or threat landscape changes. According to NIST SP 800-137, which practice BEST meets this requirement?
Continuous monitoring involves automated and manual processes that provide ongoing awareness of the effectiveness of security controls. By continuously gathering, analyzing, and reporting control status, it enables timely, data-driven risk decisions. Periodic control assessments occur on a set schedule and can leave long gaps of unknown exposure. Static security testing evaluates code or configurations at a single point in time. An initial authorization review happens only when a system is first approved for operation and is not maintained thereafter.
