Footprint Your Intranet
- Abstract
- One of the basic precepts of cyber security is: you must know what assets you have, so you can find and define your vulnerabilities, and accurately assess what countermeasures you need to employ to protect those assets. Described in this paper are software tools to help maintain a current knowledge of the organization's intranet. They are demonstrated to be easy to use and manipulate, they do not demand special knowledge or skills, and they present the information in a usable manner. Going through the process of creating a network "footprint", or one like it, is a great tool for the cyber security manager to use to stay up-to-date with network configurations and changes.
