Weaknesses this control addresses (6)AI-assisted
CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.
| CWE | Name | CVEs | Why this control addresses it |
|---|---|---|---|
CWE-284 | Improper Access Control | 6,900+ | The awareness and training policy mandates training on access control practices, directly reducing the likelihood of improper access control weaknesses being introduced or exploited. |
CWE-287 | Improper Authentication | 5,200+ | Documented procedures ensure personnel are trained on authentication mechanisms, tangibly lowering the risk of improper authentication being exploited. |
CWE-269 | Improper Privilege Management | 3,400+ | Policy requires training on privilege management and least privilege, making it harder to exploit improper privilege management weaknesses. |
CWE-732 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource | 1,900+ | Training policy covers correct permission assignment, reducing the ability to exploit incorrect permission assignments for critical resources. |
CWE-693 | Protection Mechanism Failure | 700+ | Procedures for training on protection mechanisms reduce the chance of protection mechanism failures being present or exploitable. |
CWE-657 | Violation of Secure Design Principles | 20 | Establishing and updating awareness policy promotes adherence to secure design principles through ongoing training, preventing related violations. |
