Implement Vulnerability Management for CDE Systems
What this control requires
Implement a vulnerability management programme for all CDE system components: deploy antivirus software, apply security patches within defined timeframes (critical within 30 days, high within 60 days, others within 90 days), conduct monthly internal vulnerability scans and quarterly external scans. Perform penetration testing at least annually and after significant changes.
