Every organization has mission-critical information and technology
assets that require enhanced security. Private organizations may
identify these assets informally or rely on community knowledge to
decide how to prioritize security resources. Federal government
departments and agencies, however, have official guidelines for
identifying and securing their high value assets. These guidelines can
provide lessons for all organizations protecting their most critical
assets. This blog post will outline the background of the federal High Value Asset (HVA) Program, explain the resources available to guide the securing of high value
assets, and discuss ways to apply these resources to your own assets.
