"Client side" Privacy Risk - ANS - Represents computers typically used by company
employees.
- These computers normally connect to the company's server-side systems via wireless and
hardwired networks.
- Client side can represent a significant threat to the company's systems as well as sensitive data
that may be on the client computers.
- Employees often download customer files, corporate e-mails and legal documents to their
computer for processing.
- Employees may even store their personal information on company computers.
- Client computer can access resources across the company that could have vast amounts of
planning documents that might be of great interest to competitors or corporate spies.
Network Sniffer - ANS - Allows anyone to view or copy unprotected data from a company's
wireless network.

,/P:count flag - ANS Format command within Windows OS. Best way to zero the entire disk.
cross-enterprise access controls - ANS Permits employees in one organization to have access
to resources that belong to another organization. Typical when major functions are outsourced
or through SAAS model. Travel, purchasing, payroll, and healthcare could be provided by
companies that specialize in those services. CEAC allows employees to access records through
SSO. Access is typically one-way.
SSL encryption - ANS secure socket layer protocol commonly used to protect communications
between a browser and web machine (data in transit)
TSL encryption - ANS transport layer security often used to protect email as it is transmitted
between email servers (data in transit)
multilayered privacy notice - ANS abbreviated form of an organization's privacy notice while
providing links to more detailed information
privacy nutrition label - ANS informs users about the company's privacy practices of the
organization in an abbreviated form -- only practical as part company's privacy notice or as a
privacy notice for a newly installed applications.
hashing - ANS method of protecting data that uses a cryptographic key to encrypt the data
but does not allow the data to later be decrypted. Permits the use of sensitive data while
protecting the original value. Permits the encryption of passwords, credit card numbers, and
SSNs while still permitting the verification of values by matching hashes. (Ex: a credit card
number can be hashed and used as index for an individual's credit card transactions while
preventing the hashed value from being used for additional transactions. Salting, which shifts
the encryption value, can also be used. Secure Hashing Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) and Rivest Cypher 4
(RC4) are examples of hashing algorithms.

, types of authentication (KHAW) - ANS "What you know" - this type of authentication involves
something the user knows, usually an ID and password.
"Something you have" - this type of authentication involves something the user carries on her
person, usually an RSA or key fob.
"Something you are" - This involves biometrics to authenticate, such as a fingerprint or retinal
scan.
"Where you are" - This type of authentication involves confirmation of the user's location.
multifactor authentication - ANS when more than one type of authentication is used to
validate an individual. KHAW:
Device Identifier - ANS Device ID assigned by the device manufacturer or operating system
vendor which can be a source for user tracking as Device ID's are often not deleted, blocked, or
opted out of. Device ID, media access control (MAC) or other device-assigned ID's are TO BE
AVOIDED by developers as these device identifiers may be used to track employees.
Whaling - ANS Email targeting of wealthy individuals.
Development Lifecycle - ANS Release Planning
