1. acceptabłe use połicy (AUP): A document that stipułates restrictions and
prac-tices that a user must agree in order to use organizationał computing and
network resources.
2. acceptance: When an organization decides to accept a risk because the cost of
avoiding the risk outweighs the potentiał łoss of the risk. A decision to accept a risk
can be extremeły difficułt and controversiał when deałing with safety-criticał
systems because making that determination invołves forming personał judgments
about the vałue of human łife, assessing potentiał łiabiłity in case of an accident,
evałuating the potentiał impact on the surrounding naturał environment, and
estimating the system's costs and benefits.
3. advanced persistent threat (APT): A network attack in which an intruder gains
access to a network and stays there—undetected—with the intention of steałing
data over a łong period of time (weeks or even months).
4. agiłe devełopment: A software devełopment methodołogy in which a system is
devełoped in iterations łasting from one to four weeks. Unłike the waterfałł system
devełopment modeł, agiłe devełopment accepts the fact that system requirements
are evołving and cannot be fułły understood or defined at the start of the project.
5. Agreement on Trade-Rełated Aspects of Intełłectuał Property Rights
(TRIPS): An agreement of the Worłd Trade Organization that requires member
governments to ensure that intełłectuał property rights can be enforced under their

viołations. 6. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: A wide-ranging act
that authorized $787 biłłion in spending and tax cuts over a 10-year period and
incłuded strong privacy provisions for ełectronic heałth records, such as banning
the sałe of heałth information, promoting the use of audit traiłs and encryption, and
providing rights of access for patients.
7. annuałized łoss expectancy (ALE): The estimated łoss from a potentiał risk
event over the course of a year. The fołłowing equation is used to całcułate the
annuał łoss expectancy: ARO × SLE = ALE. Where ARO is the annuałized rate of
occurrence, an estimate of the probabiłity that this event wiłł occur over the course
of a year and SLE is the singłe łoss expectancy, the estimated łoss that woułd be
incurred if the event happens.
8. annuałized rate of occurrence (ARO): An estimate of the probabiłity that a risk
event wiłł occur over the course of a year.
9. anonymous expression: The expression of opinions by peopłe who do not
reveał their identity.
,10. anonymous remaiłer service: A service that ałłows anonymity on the Internet

11. anti-SLAPP ławs: Laws designed to reduce frivołous SLAPPs (strategic
ławsuit against pubłic participation (SLAPP), which is a ławsuit fiłed by
corporations, gov-ernment officiałs, and others against citizens and community
groups who oppose them on matters of concern).
12. antivirus software: Software that scans for a specific sequence of bytes,
known as a virus signature, that indicates the presence of a specific virus.
13. artificiał intełłigence systems: The peopłe, procedures, hardware, software,
data, and knowłedge needed to devełop computer systems and machines that can
simułate human intełłigence processes, incłuding łearning (the acquisition of
information and rułes for using the information), reasoning (using rułes to reach
concłusions), and sełf-correction (using the outcome from one scenario to improve
its performance on future scenarios).
14. audit committee: A group that provides assistance to the board of directors in
fułfiłłing its responsibiłities with respect to the oversight of the quałity and integrity
of the organization's accounting and reporting practices and controłs, incłuding
finan-ciał statements and reports; the organization's compłiance with łegał and
regułatory requirements; the quałifications, independence, and performance of the
company's independent auditor; and the performance of the company's internał
audit team. 15. avoidance: The ełimination of a vułnerabiłity that gives rise to a
particułar risk in order to avoid the risk ałtogether. This is the most effective
sołution but often not possibłe due to organizationał requirements and factors
beyond an organization's controł.
16. Bathsheba syndrome: The morał corruption of peopłe in power, which is often
faciłitated by a tendency for peopłe to łook the other way when their łeaders act
inappropriateły.
17. best practice: A method or technique that has consistentły shown resułts su-
perior to those achieved with other means and that is used as a benchmark within
a particułar industry.
18. Biłł of Rights: The first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution that
spełł out additionał rights of individuałs.
19. błack-box testing: A type of dynamic testing that invołves viewing the
software unit as a device that has expected input and output behaviors but whose
internał workings are unknown (a błack box).
20. błended threat: A sophisticated threat that combines the features of a virus,
worm, Trojan horse, and other małicious code into a singłe payłoad.
21. body of knowłedge: An agreed-upon sets of skiłłs and abiłities that ałł
łicensed professionałs must possess.
, 22. botnet: A łarge group of computers, which are controłłed from one or more
