{tableName=glossary, name=Active Attack, description= An active attack is a type of cyber attack that attempts to alter, delete, or disrupt the availability of a computer system or its data. This type of attack is malicious in nature and is carried out by a hacker or group of hackers, who are often referred to as black hat hackers. Active attacks are different from passive attacks in that they involve direct manipulation of the system, such as exploiting vulnerabilities, rather than passively gathering information. These attacks can include denial of service attacks, malicious code injection, unauthorized access, and data manipulation. Active attacks are more difficult to detect and prevent than passive attacks, as they require more sophisticated techniques to be successful., 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=NIST SP 800-53 Minimum/Base Controls, description= NIST SP 800-53 Minimum/Base Controls are a set of security controls established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations protect their information systems. These controls are designed to protect systems from unauthorized access, misuse, modification, and destruction of information. The controls are grouped into three categories: Basic, Derived, and Hybrid. Basic controls are the most basic and foundational controls that should be implemented in any system, while Derived and Hybrid controls are more advanced and tailored to the specific system. The controls cover areas such as access control, authentication, encryption, logging and monitoring, system and communications protection, and incident response. NIST SP 800-53 Minimum/Base Controls are essential for organizations to ensure the security and privacy of their information systems., topic=[{id=97620570515, createdAt=1673040885373, updatedAt=1715624498921, path='nist-sp-800-53', name=' NIST SP 800-53 Security Guide: Protect Your Data', 1='{type=string, value=NIST SP 800-53}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides a comprehensive overview of NIST SP 800-53, a security and privacy control framework for federal information systems and organizations.
