How many controls are there in NIST 800?

NIST 800-53 has 20 families of controls comprised of over 1,000 separate controls. Each family is related to a specific topic, such as access control.

What is the NIST 800 series of standards?

The NIST 800 series is a technical standard set of publications that details U.S. government procedures, policies, and guidelines on information systems – developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

What are the documents in NIST?

NIST Special Publication Subseries Descriptions

• SP 250: Calibration Services.
• SP 260: Standard Reference Materials.
• SP 300: Precision Measurement and Calibration.
• SP 400: Semiconductor Measurement Technology.
• SP 480: Law Enforcement Technology.

What are OT assets?

An OT asset is a digital device that is part of an OT infrastructure. Devices can either be physical or virtualized. One can argue that there are other types of OT assets besides digital devices, such as software assets. From a theoretical perspective, that argument has its merits.

What is Scada and ICS?

ICS are command and control networks and systems designed to support industrial processes. The largest subgroup of ICS is SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems.

What is difference between IT and OT?

IT/OT convergence is the integration of information technology (IT) systems with operational technology (OT) systems. IT systems are used for data-centric computing; OT systems monitor events, processes and devices, and make adjustments in enterprise and industrial operations.

What is the difference between OT and ICS?

Operational technology (OT) refers to computing systems that are used to manage industrial operations. Industrial control systems (ICS) are a major subset within the OT sector. The industrial internet of things (IIoT) is the use of smart sensors and actuators to enhance manufacturing and industrial processes.
