| What is Security Control Validation? |
|
Security control validation is a term used in cyber security to describe the testing of security controls. Security control validation enables security teams to understand whether the tools they use to prevent and detect threats are functioning as expected. With this knowledge, they can take action to address any gaps and achieve the best possible protection and value from investments.
| Why is Security Control validation Important? |
|
Security control validation is essential because it helps security teams to identify policy weaknesses that could enable attacks to go unprevented and undetected. Security control validation ensures that defenses are optimized against evolving threats and that misconfigurations resulting from infrastructure drift are addressed before breaches occur.
| How Regularly Should Security Sontrol Validation be Performed? |
|
Security control validation should be performed on a regular basis to ensure that prevention and detection gaps are identified and addressed swiftly. Automated security validation with Breach and Attack Simulation augments manual approaches such as pentesting to enable security teams to identify policy weaknesses continuously.
| How does Security Control Validation Support Compliance with Regulations and Standards? |
|
By continuously testing and helping to improve the effectiveness of security controls, Picus Security Control Validation Platform helps organizations to comply with a wide range of regulations and standards.
Laws such as The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) state that organizations should have a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures. ISO-27001 and the PCI DSS, as well as frameworks such as NIST 800-53, also have similar requirements.
