Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover incorrect numeric conversions through targeted test cases.

Engineering principles can mandate safe numeric handling and range checks that structurally avoid bad conversions.

Input validation directly stops malformed or out-of-range numeric values from reaching conversion logic.
