Abstract

The selection of IT security products is an integral part of the design, development and maintenance of an IT security infrastructure that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of mission critical information. The guide seeks to assist in choosing IT security products that meet an organization's requirements. It should be used with other NIST publications to develop a comprehensive approach to meeting an organization's computer security and information assurance requirements. This guide defines broad security product categories, specifies product types within those categories, and then provides a list of characteristics and pertinent questions an organization should ask when selecting a product from within these categories.
