SI-14(02) Non-persistent Information

NIST SP 800-53 (controls) 5.1.1+u4
All changes in this version
first version loaded SI part of SI-14

Title

Non-persistent Information

Control

(a) [Selection: refresh {{ insert: param, si-14.02_odp.02 }} {{ insert: param, si-14.02_odp.03 }} ; generate {{ insert: param, si-14.02_odp.04 }} on demand] ; and
(b) Delete information when no longer needed.

Discussion

Retaining information longer than is needed makes the information a potential target for advanced adversaries searching for high value assets to compromise through unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized modification, or exfiltration. For system-related information, unnecessary retention provides advanced adversaries information that can assist in their reconnaissance and lateral movement through the system.

Parameters
