Spares for selected IT and OT assets are available
Context and Guidance: The organisation makes accessible or has procedures to obtain spare or redundant IT and OT assets (as identified in RESPONSE-4c). Testing and routine maintenance (such as patching and configuration updates) are performed for spares and redundancies to help ensure they are viable and available when needed. These are examples of spare or redundant IT and OT assets: • switches • routers • controllers • sensors • virtualised assets • systems on which assets rely, such as communications networks
