{tableName=glossary, name=IT Audit, description= An IT Audit is an independent review of the information systems and related operations of an organization. It is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls, ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and identify opportunities for improvement. IT Audits assess the accuracy and completeness of data, the integrity of system security and access controls, the effectiveness of system performance and reliability, the accuracy of system processing, the accuracy and completeness of system documentation, and the accuracy and completeness of system backups and recovery processes. The audit also evaluates the appropriateness of policies and procedures, the effectiveness of the organization’s IT governance framework, the adequacy of risk management processes, and the effectiveness of system change management processes. The audit process typically includes interviews with personnel, review of system documentation, and testing of system controls. The results of the audit are summarized in a report that provides recommendations for improvement and corrective actions., topic=null, hs_path=it-audit}--

{tableName=glossary, name=Vulnerability Scanning, description= Vulnerability scanning is a process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing (ranking) the vulnerabilities in a computer system, network, or application. It is an automated process that uses software to scan a system for known weaknesses and security issues. Vulnerability scanning can help organizations identify and address potential security risks before an attacker has the opportunity to exploit them. It is a critical step in the overall security process, as it allows organizations to understand the attack surface of their system, identify potential vulnerabilities, and prioritize their efforts to address them. Vulnerability scanning can also be used to detect unauthorized changes to a system, detect malicious activity, and monitor compliance with security policies. It is an important part of any security program and is often used in conjunction with other security measures, such as penetration testing and risk assessment., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1715624422147, path='vulnerability-management', name='Vulnerability Management Guide: Learn to Protect Your Business', 1='{type=string, value=Vulnerability Management}', 2='{type=string, value= Learn how to identify, assess, and manage security vulnerabilities in your organization with this comprehensive guide to Vulnerability Management.

{tableName=glossary, name=Zero Day, description= Zero Day: A zero-day (also known as a zero-hour or zero-minute) vulnerability is a computer security vulnerability that is unknown to those who would be interested in mitigating the vulnerability (including the vendor of the target system). It is usually discovered by an independent security researcher or hacker and then made public, sometimes with working exploits. These vulnerabilities are extremely dangerous because they can be used by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to a system or network, allowing them to steal data, install malware, or even take control of the system. Zero-day vulnerabilities are difficult to protect against because they are unknown to the target system's vendor, leaving the system vulnerable until a patch is released., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1715624422147, path='vulnerability-management', name='Vulnerability Management Guide: Learn to Protect Your Business', 1='{type=string, value=Vulnerability Management}', 2='{type=string, value= Learn how to identify, assess, and manage security vulnerabilities in your organization with this comprehensive guide to Vulnerability Management.
