It is designed to ensure that the systems developed are secure, reliable, and capable of meeting the needs of the organization. The framework is composed of a set of principles and processes that guide the development, implementation, and management of information systems. These principles and processes include security, quality assurance, system design, system development, system maintenance, system evaluation, system optimization, system integration, and system management. The framework also provides guidance on the selection and use of appropriate technologies, and the development and implementation of appropriate policies and procedures.

{tableName=glossary, name=Data Breach, description= A data breach is an incident in which sensitive, confidential, or protected data is accessed, viewed, stolen, or used by an individual or organization without the knowledge or authorization of the data's owner. This can include data stored in physical and digital forms, such as financial records, medical records, and customer information. Data breaches can occur when data is accessed through malicious means, such as hacking, phishing, or malware, or when data is accidentally leaked or exposed, such as through misconfigured servers or databases. The consequences of a data breach can be serious, including financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. In some cases, the data breach can even lead to identity theft and other forms of fraud. To protect against data breaches, organizations should have strong data security policies and procedures in place, as well as effective monitoring and response protocols., 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.

{tableName=glossary, name=Security Testing Requirements, description= Security Testing Requirements refer to the specific criteria that must be met in order to ensure that a system is secure. This includes both technical and non-technical aspects of the system, such as the security of the system's architecture, the security of user data, the security of the system's components, and the security of the system's communications. Security Testing Requirements must be met in order for a system to be considered secure and to protect the system from malicious attacks. Security Testing Requirements can include a variety of tests, such as penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and security audits. Additionally, Security Testing Requirements may also include the implementation of security policies and procedures, such as access control, authentication, and encryption. Furthermore, Security Testing Requirements must be regularly reviewed and updated in order to ensure that the system remains secure and compliant with regulations., 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=Privilege Escalation, description= Privilege escalation is the act of exploiting a bug, design flaw, or configuration oversight in an operating system or software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an ordinary user. It is a type of attack where an attacker with limited access privileges is able to, without authorization, elevate their privileges or access level. Privilege escalation can be used to gain access to files, settings, and other resources that are normally protected from an ordinary user. It can also be used to gain access to more powerful accounts, such as those with administrative or root privileges, which can then be used to launch further attacks on the system. Privilege escalation attacks are usually carried out through exploiting security vulnerabilities in the operating system or application, or by using malicious software, such as malware, to gain access to higher-level accounts., topic=null, hs_path=privilege-escalation}--
