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=Compliance Automation, description= Compliance Automation is the process of automating the management of regulatory compliance requirements. It involves the use of software and other technology to automate the tracking, reporting, and enforcement of regulatory standards. Compliance Automation helps organizations reduce the costs associated with manual compliance management processes, while also helping them remain compliant with applicable laws and regulations. This can be accomplished by automating the collection and analysis of data, the creation of reports, and the enforcement of policies and procedures. In addition, Compliance Automation can be used to streamline the process of meeting legal and regulatory requirements, such as ensuring data privacy and security, as well as ensuring that the organization meets its obligations under applicable laws and regulations., topic=null, hs_path=compliance-automation}--
{tableName=glossary, name=COBIT Framework Principles, description= The COBIT Framework Principles are a set of seven guiding principles for the effective governance and management of enterprise IT. The COBIT framework is a comprehensive, widely accepted approach to IT governance and management that provides organizations with the ability to effectively manage IT-related risks and realize the benefits of IT investments. The seven principles are: 1. Meeting Stakeholder Needs: IT should be managed to meet the needs of stakeholders, including customers, regulators, shareholders, and other stakeholders. 2. Covering the Enterprise End-to-End: IT should be managed holistically across the entire enterprise, from strategy to operations. 3. Applying a Single Integrated Framework: IT should be managed using a single integrated framework that incorporates best practices from multiple sources. 4. Enabling a Holistic Approach: IT should be managed in a holistic manner, considering the organization’s overall objectives, strategies, and risks. 5. Separating Governance from Management: IT governance should be separated from IT management, with governance focusing on setting policy and direction, and management focusing on the day-to-day operations. 6. Optimizing Risk vs. Return: IT investments should be managed to optimize the return on investment while managing IT-related risks. 7. Applying the Right Controls: IT should be managed using the appropriate controls to ensure that the organization’s objectives are met., topic=null, hs_path=cobit-framework-principles}--

Jailbreaking is usually done on mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads, but it can also be done on other devices such as gaming consoles and set-top boxes.
