Building a Collection Management Framework for Industrial Control Systems
Summary: Dragos argues that asset hardware and software inventories alone do not meet the needs of incident responders and security operations staff investigating adversary activity in industrial environments. The company recommends organizations build an internally-focused collection management framework, a process that documents which data sources are available to defenders, what information each holds, and how long that data is retained.
What's compelling: A CMF is meant to show defenders where visibility exists and where it does not in their industrial environment, so the gap between what an asset inventory records and what responders can actually pull during an incident is the exposure a security leader is being asked to measure.
