The selection of IT security products is an integral part of the design, development and maintenance of an IT security infrastructure that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of mission critical information. This guide, NIST SP 800-36, Guide to Selecting Information Technology (IT) Security Products, first defines broad security product categories and specifies product types within those categories. It then provides a list of characteristics and pertinent questions an organization should ask when selecting a product from within these categories. The selection of IT security products, and the implementation of the security program within which these products are used, follows the risk management process of identifying the most effective mix of management, operational, and technical controls. The specific blend of security controls an organization employs is tied to the mission of the organization and the role of the system within the organization as it supports that mission. Risk management is the process used to identify an effective mixture of controls. Once the necessary controls are identified, IT security products can then be identified to provide for these controls using the considerations and questions discussed in this document. The guide seeks to assist in choosing IT security products that meet an organization''s requirements. It should be used with other NIST publications to develop a comprehensive approach to managing, satisfying, and verifying an organization''s IT security and information assurance requirements. Why buy a book you can download for free? First you gotta find it and make sure it''s the latest version (not always easy). Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people - and its outta paper - and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it''s just 10 pages, no problem, but if it''s a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that''s paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant''s anymore?). If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money. It''s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This public domain material is published by 4th Watch Books.
