The Critical Cybersecurity Hygiene: Patching the Enterprise project will examine how commercial and open source tools can be used to aid with the most challenging aspects of patching general IT systems, including system characterization and prioritization, patch testing, and patch implementation tracking and verification. These tools will be accompanied by actionable, prescriptive guidance on establishing policies and processes for the entire patching life cycle.
Ultimately, this project will result in a NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide, a publicly available description of the practical steps needed to implement a cybersecurity reference design that addresses this challenge.
