{tableName=glossary, name=Cybersecurity Incidents, description= Cybersecurity incidents are any events that involve the unauthorized access, disruption, or destruction of computer systems, networks, or data. These incidents can include malicious activities such as hacking, malware, phishing, and denial-of-service attacks, as well as accidental events such as user errors and system malfunctions. Cybersecurity incidents can have far-reaching consequences, including the loss of sensitive information, financial losses, reputational damage, and disruption of operations. To prevent and respond to such incidents, organizations must have a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy in place that includes robust security measures, employee training, regular system updates, and a response plan in case of an incident., 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=COBIT Framework, description= COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) is an IT governance framework that provides a comprehensive set of best practices, processes, and procedures for IT management and control. It was developed by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) and the IT Governance Institute (ITGI) to help organizations achieve their business objectives by leveraging IT resources. COBIT enables organizations to align IT strategies with their business objectives by providing an integrated framework of processes, controls, and best practices for the effective management of IT.

{tableName=glossary, name=Risk Mitigation, description= Risk mitigation is the process of identifying, assessing, and reducing the potential for negative impacts of risks to an organization's objectives. It involves developing strategies to manage the risks and implementing those strategies to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence and/or the severity of their impact. Risk mitigation strategies can include risk avoidance, risk transfer, risk sharing, risk reduction, risk acceptance, and risk control. Risk avoidance involves eliminating or avoiding activities or situations that could result in the risk. Risk transfer involves transferring the risk to another party, such as an insurance company, who will assume the risk in exchange for a fee. Risk sharing involves sharing the risk between parties, such as when two companies form a joint venture. Risk reduction involves reducing the likelihood of the risk occurring or the severity of its impact. Risk acceptance involves accepting the risk and taking no action to reduce it. Risk control involves implementing measures to reduce the risk, such as implementing safety protocols or installing security systems., topic=[{id=97620570509, createdAt=1673040885334, updatedAt=1715624292575, path='enterprise-risk-management', name=' Enterprise Risk Management Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=Enterprise Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides an overview of Enterprise Risk Management and its processes, enabling you to develop a risk management strategy and plan for your organization.

{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.
