Which one of the statements is NOT true?
Larger companies are expected to devote more resources to security controls and implement more automated solutions to address the issues
Government entities will have a formalized assessment and authorization process.
Smaller organizations need to decide what is feasible to protect the resources adequately and may need to engage external resources to provide adequate protection.
Each organization should develop a process whereby the security controls and the residual risk are approved and accepted by security analysts.
The NIST uses terminology in the 800-53 standard (Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems) with roots in the insurance sector.
Understanding the intent of the control also assists in interpreting the terminology used within the control.
Many different organizations, committees, and geographic representations promulgate the standards.
Compliance Is not security, but it is a good start.
