{tableName=glossary, name=NIST Guidelines, description= NIST Guidelines are a set of recommendations developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations protect their information systems from cyber threats. The guidelines are designed to provide a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, including strategies for identifying and mitigating risks, developing secure architectures and designs, implementing secure development processes, and managing security operations. NIST Guidelines provide organizations with a framework for developing, implementing, and maintaining a secure information system. The guidelines are updated periodically to reflect the latest cyber threats and security best practices., topic=null, hs_path=nist-guidelines}--
{tableName=glossary, name=ISO/IEC 27001 Penetration Testing, description= ISO/IEC 27001 Penetration Testing is a type of security testing that is used to evaluate the security of an organization’s information systems and networks. It is designed to identify, analyze, and report on any vulnerabilities that may exist in an organization’s security infrastructure. The goal of penetration testing is to find, exploit, and help correct any weaknesses in the system before they can be exploited by malicious actors. During a penetration test, an ethical hacker attempts to gain access to an organization’s systems and networks, either by exploiting known vulnerabilities or by using social engineering tactics. The tester then documents and reports on the findings, including any potential risks and recommended countermeasures. The results of the penetration test are then used to develop a comprehensive security plan that can help protect the organization’s systems and data., 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.

This guide provides an authoritative and detailed overview of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, which defines the requirements for an Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) associated with information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection.

Learn about the purpose and scope of the standard, the key requirements for an ISMS, how to implement and maintain an ISMS, how to establish an effective security risk management program, how to develop and implement security policies, how to implement controls to protect information and services and how to audit and review systems to ensure they meet the requirements of the standard.

This guide is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand and implement ISO 27001.

{tableName=glossary, name=SSAE 18, description= Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18 is an attestation standard issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It defines the requirements for attestation engagements performed by a service auditor, and is applicable to service organizations that provide services to user entities. The standard provides guidance for service auditors on how to plan and perform an attestation engagement, and how to report on the results of the engagement. It is intended to replace the Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, which is the previous standard for service organization attestation engagements. SSAE 18 requires a service auditor to obtain an understanding of the service organization's system and its controls, assess the risks associated with the system, determine the nature, timing and extent of the tests to be performed, and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the controls. The service auditor must also issue an opinion on the fairness of the description of the service organization's system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of the controls. The opinion must include a description of the tests performed and the results of the tests., topic=null, hs_path=ssae-18}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Mitigating Controls For Risk Management, description= Mitigating controls for risk management are the actions or measures taken to reduce the likelihood of a risk occurring or its potential impact. These controls can be implemented at different stages of the risk management process, such as identifying, assessing, responding, and monitoring risks. Mitigating controls can include preventive measures, such as implementing security protocols or training staff, or corrective measures, such as developing a contingency plan or creating a risk mitigation plan. The goal of mitigating controls is to reduce the level of risk to an acceptable level., topic=null, hs_path=mitigating-controls-for-risk-management}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Risk Identification (Ri), description= Risk Identification (Ri) is the process of identifying and understanding potential risks that may affect an organization, project, or process. This process typically involves the identification of both internal and external factors that may have an impact on the organization, project, or process. Risk identification involves analyzing the environment and the organization's activities to identify potential risks. It also involves the analysis of internal and external data to identify potential risks. The process includes the identification of the sources of risk, the assessment of the probability of occurrence, and the evaluation of the consequences of the risk. The purpose of risk identification is to identify and prioritize risks that need to be addressed, so that the organization can manage them effectively., topic=null, hs_path=risk-identification-ri}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Cybersecurity Framework NIST, description= Cybersecurity Framework NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is a set of guidelines and best practices developed by the US government to help organizations protect their networks, systems, and data from cyber attacks. The framework provides a comprehensive approach to managing cybersecurity risk that includes identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, as well as developing and implementing a response plan. It also outlines the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder in the organization and establishes processes for monitoring and responding to threats. The framework is designed to be flexible and customizable so that organizations can tailor it to their specific needs and goals. It is also meant to be a living document, with regular updates to reflect the changing cybersecurity landscape., topic=[{id=97620570503, createdAt=1673040885296, updatedAt=1683947893762, path='nist-cybersecurity-framework-csf', name=' NIST Cybersecurity Framework: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)}', 2='{type=string, value= A comprehensive guide to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and how to use it to protect your organization's IT infrastructure and data.
