{tableName=glossary, name=ISO/IEC 27001 Audit, description= An ISO/IEC 27001 Audit is a type of audit that evaluates an organization’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) to determine if it meets the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard. This standard is an international standard that outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. An ISO/IEC 27001 Audit is conducted by a third-party assessor who evaluates the organization’s ISMS against the requirements of the standard. The audit includes a review of the organization’s policies, procedures, and processes related to information security and a review of the organization’s implementation of the ISMS. The auditor also evaluates the effectiveness of the organization’s security controls and the extent to which the ISMS meets the requirements of the standard. The audit results in a report that outlines the findings and provides recommendations for improvement. The report can be used by the organization to make improvements to their ISMS and to demonstrate to stakeholders that the organization is compliant with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard., topic=[{id=97620570500, createdAt=1673040885276, updatedAt=1684824913644, path='iso-27001', name=' ISO 27001 Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=ISO 27001}', 2='{type=string, value=This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the ISO 27001 standard, including the requirements, implementation, and certification.

{tableName=glossary, name=Spyware Threat, description= Spyware threat is a type of malicious computer software that is installed on a user's computer without their knowledge or permission. Spyware is designed to collect information about the user and their activities, such as browsing history, keystrokes, and other data, and transmit it to a third-party without the user's knowledge. Spyware threats can also be used to track a user's location, steal passwords, or even control the user's computer remotely. Spyware can be difficult to detect and remove, and can be used to monitor a user's online activities, collect personal information, and even hijack the user's computer., topic=null, hs_path=spyware-threat}--

{tableName=glossary, name=Data Breach, description= A data breach is an incident in which sensitive, confidential, or protected data is accessed, viewed, stolen, or used by an individual or organization without the knowledge or authorization of the data's owner. This can include data stored in physical and digital forms, such as financial records, medical records, and customer information. Data breaches can occur when data is accessed through malicious means, such as hacking, phishing, or malware, or when data is accidentally leaked or exposed, such as through misconfigured servers or databases. The consequences of a data breach can be serious, including financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. In some cases, the data breach can even lead to identity theft and other forms of fraud. To protect against data breaches, organizations should have strong data security policies and procedures in place, as well as effective monitoring and response protocols., topic=[{id=97620570528, createdAt=1673040885452, updatedAt=1715624222504, path='cybersecurity-risk-management', name=' Cybersecurity Risk Management: A Guide for Businesses', 1='{type=string, value=Cybersecurity Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides essential information on cyber security risk management, including how to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to your organization's data and systems.

{tableName=glossary, name=Passive Attack, description= A passive attack is a type of cyber attack that does not involve the direct manipulation of an information system or its data, but instead uses existing vulnerabilities to gain access to resources, such as user accounts, confidential information, or networks. Passive attacks are typically used to gain access to a system or network, or to gain intelligence about the system or network, such as what kind of data is stored, who has access to it, and what services are running. Examples of passive attacks include eavesdropping on unencrypted communications, exploiting weak passwords, and analyzing network traffic for sensitive information. In contrast to active attacks, passive attacks are difficult to detect because the attacker does not leave any evidence of their activity., 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=ISO/IEC Data Center, description= ISO/IEC Data Center is a facility that houses computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g. air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices. The main purpose of a data center is to process, store, and distribute large amounts of data. Data centers are typically used by large organizations and businesses to store and process their data, including financial records, customer data, and other confidential information. ISO/IEC Data Centers are designed to adhere to the ISO/IEC standards for data center design, operation, and management. These standards provide guidelines for data center design, operation, and management that ensure the highest levels of reliability, availability, security, and performance. These standards also provide guidance on how to minimize the risk of data loss or corruption, and how to efficiently and securely manage and store data., topic=null, hs_path=iso-iec-data-center}--
