Technical detail
KSI-CNA (Cloud Native Architecture) has 8 official CR26 indicators: KSI-CNA-DFP (Defining Functionality and Privileges); KSI-CNA-EIS (Enforcing Intended State); KSI-CNA-IBP (Implementing Best Practices); KSI-CNA-MAT (Minimizing Attack Surface); KSI-CNA-OFA (Optimizing for Availability); KSI-CNA-RNT (Restricting Network Traffic); KSI-CNA-RVP (Reviewing Protections); KSI-CNA-ULN (Using Logical Networking). Each indicator page quotes the official statement. This family page only indexes them.
