To help ensure those apps are secure, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a draft checklist of security controls for developers and users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The draft Guidelines for Checklist Users and Developers gives agencies and industry advice on creating their own checklists or selecting an established guide from <a href=\"http:\/\/checklists.nist.gov\/\" title=\"http:\/\/checklists.nist.gov\/\">NIST&#8217;s National Checklist Repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Document: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/csrc.nist.gov\/publications\/drafts\/800-70\/sp800-70r3_draft.pdf\" title=\"http:\/\/csrc.nist.gov\/publications\/drafts\/800-70\/sp800-70r3_draft.pdf\">Guidelines for Checklist Users and Developers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A checklist \u2013 also known as a lockdown, hardening guide, benchmark, security guide or security technical implementation guide (STIG) \u2013 can be used to ensure a product is configured correctly, as well as identifying any unauthorized changes that could lead to security holes or problems with implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Although the solutions to IT security are complex, one simple yet effective tool is the security configuration checklist,&#8221; NIST writes. &#8220;The use of well-written, standardized checklists can markedly reduce the vulnerability exposure of IT products.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The checklist can either be a basic document explaining how to do a manual compliance review or an automated system to set and verify controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>More: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/checklists.nist.gov\/\" title=\"http:\/\/checklists.nist.gov\/\">National Checklist Repository<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The draft guidance boils down to five major recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Organizations should use checklists to reduce cyber vulnerabilities and mitigate the impact of successful attacks;<\/li><li>Appropriate checklists should be picked based on degree of automation and source;<\/li><li>Checklists should be customized and tested before being introduced to the production cycle;<\/li><li>Developers should target checklists to one or more operational environment; and<\/li><li>Give back by offering finished checklists for inclusion in the national repository.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document also enumerates best practices for developing a checklist from scratch and the various instances in which one should be applied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New draft guidance
