Description
Security flaws with software applications are discovered daily. Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered security vulnerabilities. Organizations (including any contractor to the organization) are required to promptly install security-relevant software updates (e.g., patches, service packs, and hot fixes). Flaws discovered during security assessments, continuous monitoring, incident response activities, or information system error handling must also be addressed expeditiously.

Who does this work

16 NICE work roles and 10 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-259737r961683_chk)

Ask the system administrator for the procedure to install security-relevant software updates within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVMs, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs. If there is no procedure, this a finding.

Fix Text (F-63383r943244_fix)

Develop a procedure to install security-relevant software updates within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVMs, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs).
