{tableName=glossary, name=ISO/IEC Directives, description= ISO/IEC Directives are a set of standards and guidelines issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to ensure that all of their standards, technical specifications, and other documents are developed in a consistent, reliable, and transparent manner. They provide guidance on topics such as the structure and content of documents, the development and review process, the use of symbols, terminology, and abbreviations, and the use of language, among other things. They also provide guidance on the management and maintenance of standards and other documents, including their publication, registration, and withdrawal. The ISO/IEC Directives are designed to ensure that all of the documents produced by ISO and IEC are of the highest quality and provide the most reliable information to the public., topic=null, hs_path=iso-iec-directives}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Configuration Management Database (CMDB), description= A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is a database that stores and organizes detailed information about the components of an organization's IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, networks, and services. It is used to track and manage changes to the infrastructure, such as upgrades, new installations, and decommissioning of components, as well as to monitor the health and performance of the system. The CMDB is also used to ensure that the IT infrastructure is compliant with organizational policies and regulations. In addition, the CMDB can be used to provide a comprehensive view of the IT environment and its relationships, which can be used for capacity planning, forecasting, and decision making. The CMDB is also used to automate and streamline IT operations, such as incident management and change management. The CMDB is a powerful tool for IT departments to ensure the reliability and availability of their IT infrastructure., topic=null, hs_path=configuration-management-database-cmdb}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Attack Vector, description= An attack vector is a path or means by which a hacker (or cracker) can gain access to a computer or network server in order to deliver a payload or malicious code. Attack vectors can come in many forms, such as malicious software, malicious links, malicious email attachments, or even physical access to a computer. Attack vectors are used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in a system or network, allowing them to gain access and potentially cause damage. Attack vectors can also be used to gain access to sensitive information, such as passwords, financial data, or other confidential information. Attack vectors are constantly evolving, and it is important for organizations to stay up-to-date on the latest attack vectors, and to have the appropriate security measures in place to protect their systems from these threats., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1683947931775, path='vulnerability-management', name=' Vuln Mgmt 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=Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), description= The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a standard for measuring and rating the severity of computer system security vulnerabilities. It is a numerical score ranging from 0 to 10, with 10 being the most severe. CVSS is used to compare the severity of different vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts. It considers factors such as the complexity of the attack, the type of attack, the impact of the attack, the privileges needed to exploit the vulnerability, and the availability of the exploit. CVSS is designed to be vendor-neutral, so it can be used to evaluate vulnerabilities in any type of system or application. The CVSS score provides a consistent way to communicate the severity of a vulnerability, making it easier to compare and prioritize different vulnerabilities., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1683947931775, path='vulnerability-management', name=' Vuln Mgmt 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 800-171 Controls, description= NIST 800-171 Controls are a set of security requirements established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that organizations must adhere to in order to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) stored or processed on their systems. These controls are intended to ensure that CUI is adequately protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, destruction, or modification. The controls are divided into 14 different areas, each of which contains specific security requirements that must be met. These areas include Access Control, Awareness and Training, Audit and Accountability, Configuration Management, Identification and Authentication, Incident Response, Maintenance, Media Protection, Physical Protection, Personnel Security, Risk Assessment, Security Assessment, System and Communications Protection, and System and Information Integrity. Each of these areas contains specific security requirements that must be implemented and maintained in order to ensure the protection of CUI., topic=[{id=97620570517, createdAt=1673040885385, updatedAt=1683947953092, path='nist-sp-800-171', name=' NIST SP 800-171 Guide: A Comprehensive Overview', 1='{type=string, value=NIST SP 800-171}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides an overview of NIST SP 800-171, a cybersecurity standard for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in nonfederal systems and organizations.

{tableName=glossary, name=Information Security Awaness, description= Information Security Awareness is a process of educating and informing individuals and organizations about the importance of information security and the risks associated with it. It involves educating users about the policies and procedures in place to protect their data, as well as providing them with the tools and resources to help them protect their own data. It also involves teaching users about the common threats to information security, such as phishing, malware, and ransomware, and how to recognize and respond to these threats. Information Security Awareness also involves encouraging users to report suspicious activity or incidents that may indicate a security breach. Finally, it involves providing users with the tools and resources they need to protect their data, such as secure passwords, two-factor authentication, and antivirus software., topic=[{id=97620570528, createdAt=1673040885452, updatedAt=1683947994134, 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.
