acceptable use policy - ANSWER-a policy that a user must agree to follow in order to be
provided access to a network or to the Internet
anti-spam policy - ANSWER-e-mail users will not send unsolicited emails or spam
application architecture - ANSWER-determines how applications integrate and relate to
each other
, application architecture - ANSWER-determines how applications integrate and relate to
each other
application software - ANSWER-used for specific information processing needs
including payroll, customer relationship management, project management, training,
and many others.
arithmetic logic unit (ALU) - ANSWER-performs all arithmetic operations, and all logic
operations (such as sorting and comparing numbers)
authentication - ANSWER-a method for confirming users identities
authorization - ANSWER-the process of giving someone permission to do or have
something
availability - ANSWER-addresses when systems can be accessed by users
backdoor programs - ANSWER-viruses that open a way into the network for future
attacks
backup - ANSWER-an exact copy of a system's information
binary digit (bit) - ANSWER-the smallest unit of information that a computer can
ptocess. 1=on 0=off
biometrics - ANSWER-the identification of a user based on a physical characteristic,
such as a fingerprint, iris, face, voice, or handwriting

faster processing
byte - ANSWER-a group of 8 bits
cache memory - ANSWER-a small unit of ultra fast memory that is used to store
recently accessed or frequently accessed data so that the CPU does not have to
retrieve this data from slower memory circuits such as RAM
