NIST SP 800-167 Guide to Application Whitelisting 2.7: Weigh bypass resistance, complexity, cost, performance, mission impact, usability and maintenance when evaluating solutions

What does 2.7 require?

The evaluation of likely effectiveness covers how easily the solution can be bypassed by users or malware; its complexity (hash-based versus signature-based) and the false positives and negatives that follow; implementation and ongoing operating costs; the effect on host performance, which should not be noticeable; the impact on the mission when authorised software is blocked or malware is let through; how usable it is for users and administrators, including the information shown when something is blocked; and the long-term maintenance demand, balanced against incidents prevented.
