Assessing and securing your infrastructure to mitigate potential attacks is important if you want to understand your organizational security posture and

thwart potential attacks. Use the techniques and skills you've learned in this module and apply them to your information environment. Your task is to

assess the information security environment of your current organization or work environment. You can apply the principles you've learned to assess the

information security posture and capabilities currently in place. Additionally, you can use the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as a blueprint for evaluating

and assessing specific areas or functions of the program.

In formulating your defensive strategies and logical safeguards, be sure to answer the following:

Which methods, tools, techniques, or framework functions are the most important for your environment?

Which elements would you apply first? What is the priority?

Which functions and sub$-$components of the NIST CSF would you use or reference?

Will you apply defense$-$in$-$depth principles?

What other defensive measures should be taken?
