{tableName=glossary, name=Access Control, description= Access control is the process of granting or denying specific requests to obtain information or resources from a particular system. It is a security measure designed to limit access to a system, service, or resource to only those authorized users, processes, or other systems that have been granted permission to access it. Access control systems are used to protect data, networks, and other resources from unauthorized access. Access control is a critical component of security and is used to protect confidential information, prevent unauthorized access to systems, and protect against malicious activities. Access control can be implemented in a variety of ways, including physical security, logical security, and biometric security. Physical security measures involve the use of locks, fences, and other physical barriers to prevent unauthorized access. Logical security measures involve the use of passwords, encryption, and other digital security measures to protect data and resources from unauthorized access. Biometric security measures involve the use of biometric data such as fingerprints, voice recognition, and facial recognition to verify the identity of a user before granting access., 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=Information Governance, description= Information Governance is the practice of managing, organizing, and protecting the data and information assets of an organization. It involves the development of policies, processes, and procedures that ensure the accuracy, quality, security, and availability of the organization’s data and information. It also involves the implementation of systems and technologies to monitor and protect the organization’s data and information.

{tableName=glossary, name=Passive Scanning, description= Passive scanning is a type of network security scanning technique used to detect potential security threats on a computer network without sending any packets or initiating any direct communication with the target systems. Passive scanning is a non-intrusive way to assess a network's security posture by gathering information passively from the network traffic. This technique allows the scanning system to observe the traffic on the network without being detected or interfering with the normal flow of traffic. Passive scanning is useful for identifying weak points in a network's security as well as detecting malicious activity, such as malware, unauthorized access, or malicious code execution. Passive scanning can also help identify potential vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure, such as unpatched systems or unencrypted communication., 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=Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF), description= Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a type of malicious exploit of a website whereby unauthorized commands are transmitted from a user that the website trusts. It occurs when a malicious website, email, blog, or instant message contains a link, code, or other script that is unknowingly executed by a user's web browser. The malicious code may then perform actions on behalf of the user, such as changing account settings, transferring funds, or purchasing items without the user's knowledge or consent. CSRF exploits the trust that a website has in a user's browser, and can be used to manipulate a user into performing actions that they did not intend to do. CSRF attacks can be particularly dangerous because they often go undetected, as the user is unaware that their browser has been exploited. To prevent CSRF attacks, websites should implement measures such as token-based authentication or a CAPTCHA system to verify user requests., topic=null, hs_path=cross-site-request-forgery-csrf}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Business Continuity Plan (BCP), description= A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a comprehensive plan that outlines how an organization will respond to, and recover from, a disruption in its operations. This plan identifies potential threats to the organization and the steps that will be taken to minimize the impact of those threats. The plan outlines the procedures that will be implemented in the event of an emergency, including the roles and responsibilities of staff, the resources that will be needed to manage the situation, and the timeline for restoring operations. Additionally, a BCP may also include strategies for communicating with customers, vendors, and other stakeholders during the disruption. The goal of a BCP is to ensure that the organization can quickly and effectively respond to any disruption and continue to provide the services and products that customers expect., topic=null, hs_path=business-continuity-plan-bcp}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Data Integrity, description= Data Integrity is the assurance that data is complete, accurate, and reliable throughout its lifecycle. It is the process of ensuring that data is not corrupted, compromised, or altered in any way. Data Integrity is achieved through a combination of technical and administrative measures that prevent unauthorized access to data and protect it from being modified, deleted, or otherwise corrupted. Data Integrity also ensures that data is stored and maintained in its original form, and that any changes made to the data are done in a controlled and secure manner. Data Integrity is essential for the successful operation of any system that relies on data for its functioning. Data Integrity is critical for the accuracy and reliability of data, as well as for the security of data and the protection of information., topic=null, hs_path=data-integrity}--
