La Defense Industrial Base (DIB) está bajo constante ataque por parte de sofisticados actores de amenazas de estados nacionales. No siempre se trata de eventos masivos y ruidosos; a menudo, son ataques "lentos y sigilosos" diseñados para robar silenciosamente datos confidenciales que, en conjunto, pueden comprometer la seguridad nacional. El reciente ataque contra Stryker, un importante fabricante de dispositivos médicos con contratos con el gobierno estadounidense, es un claro recordatorio de que cada eslabón de la cadena de suministro es un objetivo. Ahora más que nunca, está claro que la base industrial de defensa (DIB) debe fortalecer sus defensas para la Información No Clasificada Controlada (CUI, por sus siglas en inglés).

Para abordar esta cuestión, el Departamento de Guerra de Estados Unidos (DoW) tiene el mandato de extender sus propios rigurosos estándares de seguridad a toda la cadena de suministro de proveedores de servicios a quienes se les confía información confidencial. Proteger esta información controlada no clasificada (CUI, por sus siglas en inglés), ya sea de una filtración de datos maliciosa o simplemente de un manejo interno inadecuado, es una parte directa e imperativa de la defensa de la nación.

La certificación del modelo de madurez de ciberseguridad (CMMC) es el marco del DoW para garantizar esta protección. Actualmente, CMMC 2.0 es un mandato de cumplimiento y verificación diseñado para garantizar que todos los proveedores de servicios y subcontratistas hayan implementado los estándares de ciberseguridad NIST requeridos. Ahora, obtener el nivel de certificación CMMC adecuado será una condición innegociable para la adjudicación de un contrato con el DoW.

La serie: su plan maestro para el éxito en CMMC

Si bien CMMC abarca una amplia gama de dominios de seguridad, todo el marco se basa en el principio de Zero Trust, y la piedra angular de Zero Trust es la identidad. Okta es el socio independiente líder en gestión de identidades, por lo que estamos en una posición privilegiada para ayudar a nuestros clientes a dominar los dominios críticos de control de acceso (AC) e identificación y autenticación (IA) de CMMC.

Además, Okta puede servir como plataforma de integración central para todo su ecosistema de seguridad. Gracias a nuestras sólidas API y a la Okta Integration Network, le permitimos conectar su plataforma de identidad con las demás herramientas de seguridad en las que confía, creando una defensa coherente y potente que además cumple con los requisitos de CMMC en múltiples dominios.

A lo largo de esta serie de artículos en nuestro blog, analizaremos las familias clave de NIST SP 800-171, que constituyen la base del nivel 2 de CMMC, y NIST SP 800-171, que constituyen la base del nivel 3 de CMMC. Mostraremos no solo cómo Okta puede ayudar, sino también cómo, proporcionándole un plan práctico que puede utilizar para diseñar su arquitectura compatible con CMMC y detallando las pruebas específicas que puede presentar a un evaluador para demostrar su cumplimiento.

  1. Descripción general de la identificación y autenticación (IA).

Comprender lo que está en juego: la puntuación CMMC

Es fundamental comprender que no todos los controles CMMC son iguales. El DoW utiliza un sistema de puntuación ponderada en el que los controles valen 1, 3 o 5 puntos en función de su importancia. es decir:

  • La puntuación perfecta es 110 puntos.
  • Una organización puede ser elegible para una certificación condicional con una puntuación mínima de 88, siempre que todas las brechas restantes sean para controles de 1 punto y estén documentadas en un Plan de Acción e Hitos (POA&M).
  • Fundamentalmente, suspenderá la evaluación, independientemente de la puntuación, si tan solo uno de los controles "Big Rock" de alto valor (que valen 3 o 5 puntos) no se cumple. Todos estos requisitos deben cumplirse íntegramente en el momento de la auditoría.

Un número significativo de estas "prioridades clave" están relacionadas con la identidad, por lo que la elección de un proveedor de identidad es una de las decisiones más importantes que tomará en su proceso de implementación de CMMC. Permanezca con nosotros a lo largo de esta serie para aprender a dominarlas.

Consulte la tabla a continuación para obtener información sobre cómo Okta ayuda a sus clientes a cumplir con estos requisitos.

Nota: esta tabla solo incluye los controles CMMC 2.0 que Okta puede cumplir o dar soporte.
