Asset, Change, and Configuration Management

  • What is an asset? What is an important asset? What keeps your business going?

  • Asset tagging

    • Internal ID for each devices

    • Reactive or proactive

    • Standard process for MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes)

    • RFC (Request for Change)

  • Risks of Change

    • Downtime

    • Degraded functionality

    • Increased attack surface

    • Planning vs reactive change

    • Rollback procedure

    • Test group / sandbox

  • Configuration Management

    • OS settings, installed apps, and their configs

    • Baseline

    • Versioning

    • Dedicated software
