Hardware Inventory Assessment

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Establish and maintain an accurate, detailed, and up-to-date inventory of all enterprise assets with the potential to store or process data, to include: end-user devices (including portable and mobile), network devices, non-computing/IoT devices, and servers. Ensure the inventory records the network address (if static), hardware address, machine name, data asset owner, department for each asset, and whether the asset has been approved to connect to the network. For mobile end-user devices, MDM type tools can support this process, where appropriate. This inventory includes assets connected to the infrastructure physically, virtually, remotely, and those within cloud environments. Additionally, it includes assets that are regularly connected to the enterprise’s network infrastructure, even if they are not under control of the enterprise. Review and update the inventory of all enterprise assets bi-annually, or more frequently.

Can you explain symmetric vs asymmetric encryption?
Symmetric encryption uses one shared key for both encrypting and decrypting data — fast but requires secure key exchange.

Asymmetric encryption uses a public/private key pair — slower but solves the key distribution problem. TLS uses both: asymmetric for the handshake, symmetric for the session.
What are common use cases?
Symmetric: AES for disk encryption, database encryption.
Asymmetric: RSA/ECC for digital signatures, SSL/TLS, email encryption (PGP).
