What is the term for the different engineering segments used to achieve CANES security?

The term "Configuration Items (CI)" is used to refer to different engineering segments that are utilized to achieve security within the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) environment. In this context, Configuration Items represent distinct physical or logical assets that require management and can vary in types, such as hardware, software, or any other system component contributing to the overall security architecture. By defining and managing these items effectively, organizations can implement appropriate security measures, track changes, and ensure compliance with security policies.

In contrast, items such as Security Protocols, Access Control Lists, and Network Segmentation serve as tools or techniques within the broader framework of IT security. Security Protocols define rules for data transmission to secure communications, Access Control Lists regulate who can access specific resources within the network, and Network Segmentation divides a network into smaller, manageable sections to enhance security. While all these terms are relevant in the context of network security, they do not specifically encapsulate the broader concept of Configuration Items that are essential for ensuring security within CANES.
