Asset Security Domain Flashcards
Portable USB drives that embed encryption algorithms within the hard drive, thus eliminating the need to install any encryption software
Self-Encrypting USB Drives
An assessment of quality based on standards external to the process and involves reviewing of the activities and quality control processes to ensure final products meet predetermined standards of quality
Quality Assurance (QA)
An assessment of quality based on internal standards, processes, and procedures established to control and monitor quality
Quality Control (QC)
The removal of sensitive data from a system or storage device with the intent that the data cannot be reconstructed by an known technique
Purging
Focuses on providing measurements and standards to protect information systems against threats to the confidentiality of information, integrity of information and processes, and availability of information and services in order to build trust and confidence
NIST Computer Systems Division (CSD)
The US Government repository of publicly available security checklists (or benchmarks) that provide detailed low-level guidance on setting the security configuration of operating systems and applications
The National Checklist Program (NCP)
Software that is used to encrypt otherwise unprotected storage media such as CDs, DVDs, USB drives, or laptop hard drives
Media Encryption Software
ITAM is a much broader discipline, adding several dimensions of management and involving a much broader base of stakeholders
IT Asset Management
Allows greater flexibility in applying encryption to specific file (s)
File Encryption Software
The residual physical representation of data that has been in some way erased
Data Remanence
The methodology that identifies the path to meet user requirements
Data Modeling
Ensure important datasets are developed, maintained and accessible within their defined specifications
Data Custodians
The removal of sensitive data from storage devices in such a way that there is assurance that the data may not be reconstructed using normal system functions or software file/data recovery utilities
Clearing
The offical series of publications relating to standards and guidelines adopted
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
