Planning Note (02/22/2023):
The NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) team seeks feedback on our NIST IR 8011 series publications and their use.
See the Call for Feedback to learn more details about what we would like to know. Feedback can be sent to 8011comments@list.nist.gov; there is no closing date.

The NISTIR 8011 volumes focus on each individual information security capability, adding tangible detail to the more general overview given in NISTIR 8011 Volume 1, and providing a template for transition to a detailed, NIST standards-compliant automated assessment. This document, Volume 2 of NISTIR 8011, addresses the Hardware Asset Management (HWAM) information security capability. The focus of the HWAM capability is to manage risk created by unmanaged and/or unauthorized devices on a network. Unmanaged devices are targets that attackers can use to gain and more easily maintain a persistent platform from which to attack the rest of the network.
