{tableName=glossary, name=Data Leak, description= Data leak is the intentional or unintentional release of sensitive data to an unauthorized recipient. It can occur through a variety of methods, including hacking, malware, poor security practices, physical theft, or accidental disclosure. Data leaks can have serious consequences, including financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. In some cases, data leaks can even lead to the loss of life. Data leaks can be particularly damaging to organizations that handle sensitive information, such as healthcare providers, financial institutions, and government agencies.

{tableName=glossary, name=Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), description= Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a certification program created by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that all organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) comply with the DoD’s cybersecurity standards. The CMMC is a five-level certification system that assesses the maturity of an organization’s cybersecurity practices, processes, and procedures. The five levels are Basic Cyber Hygiene, Cyber Hygiene, Intermediate, Advanced, and Progressive. Each level builds upon the previous one and provides a comprehensive set of security requirements that must be met in order to achieve the next level. The CMMC certification is designed to be an ongoing process that organizations must go through in order to maintain their certification. The certification is valid for three years, after which organizations must renew their certification in order to remain compliant with the DoD’s security requirements. The CMMC is intended to help ensure that all organizations handling CUI are properly secured and that the data remains secure., topic=null, hs_path=cybersecurity-maturity-model-certification-cmmc}--
