Recommendation ITU-T X.1059 provides guidance for telecommunications organizations on risk management of their assets globally accessible in IP-based networks, the assets of which are exposed directly to hackers and attackers. These assets may also be connected to the traditional (and even old) assets of legacy telecommunication networks, which might have some design level vulnerabilities that could be difficult to fix. Therefore, it would be practical to consider all the assets globally accessible in IP-based networks (AGIT) of a telecommunication organization as a whole, and to introduce some specific security controls to continuously reduce the overall risks and strengthen the overall security of telecommunication services and networks. It is suggested that the assets globally accessible in IP-based networks have a high priority to adopt these proposed controls, which might also be applicable to other assets.
