Internet-facing assets are not periodically assessed for cybersecurity vulnerabilities
Context and Guidance: Internet-facing assets (such as networks, systems, and applications) may be accessible to anyone on the Internet, which can increase the level of attention that they receive from malicious threat actors.
As a result, there is an increased likelihood that cybersecurity vulnerabilities on Internet-facing assets may be exploited. Ensuring that Internet-facing assets are periodically assessed for cybersecurity vulnerabilities can support your ability to proactively remediate any cybersecurity vulnerabilities that are discovered.
