evaluation of known threats to an organization and the potential damage to business operations and systems

reviews may be carried out manually by a developer, or automatically using a source cod analysis tool
completed before a security implementation is applied, the reviewer can determine if the security solution will in fact fulfill the needs of an organization
also known as profiling, the attacker chooses a target and begins to gather info that is publicly or readily available
also called banner grabbing, the second step is to scan an organization's infrastructure or systems to see where vulnerabilities might lie
where the tester is given no specific information about the structure of the system being tested
where the tester has partial knowledge of internal architectures and systems
when the tester knows all aspects of the system and understands the function and design of the system before the test is conducted
the position an organization takes on securing all aspects of its business
a software solution that detects an prevents sensitive info in a system from being stolen or falling into the wrong hands
a specific instance of a risk event occurring, whether or not it causes damage

1. Assess the level of damage
2. Recover from the incident

Disaster Recovery Plan
the rating on a device or devices that predicts the expected time between failures
action-based sessions where employees can validate DRPs by performing scenario-based activities in a simulated environment
should be conducted to determine the extent of incurred facility damages, to identify the cause, estimate downtime, and can also determine the appropriate response strategy
a group of designated individuals who implement recovery procedures and control recovery operations in the event of an internal or external disruption to critical business processes
all selected files that have changed since the last full or differential backup are backed up
backing up sensitive or important data is only part of the solution, as that backup also needs to be secure
