WGU(Ethics in Information Technology From the
summaries of chapters 1 - 10.) REAL EXAM NEWEST
VERSION ACTUAL 335+ QUESTION AND CORRECT
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS FROM VERIFIED
SOURCES BY EXPERT RATED
A conflict between a person's (or firm's) self-interest and the interests of a client.
contingent work
A job situation in which an individual does not have an explicit or implicit contract for
long-term employment.
contributory negligence
When the plaintiffs' own actions contributed to their injuries.
Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM)
acceptable use policy (AUP)
A document that stipulates restrictions and practices that a user must agree in order to
use organizational computing and network resources.
acceptance
When an organization decides to accept a risk because the cost of avoiding the risk
outweighs the potential loss of the risk. A decision to accept a risk can be extremely
difficult and controversial when dealing with safety-critical systems because making that
determination involves forming personal judgments about the value of human life,
assessing potential liability in case of an accident, evaluating the potential impact on the
surrounding natural environment, and estimating the system's costs and benefits.

advanced persistent threat (APT)
A network attack in which an intruder gains access to a network and stays there—
undetected—with the intention of stealing data over a long period of time (weeks or
even months).
agile development
A software development methodology in which a system is developed in iterations
lasting from one to four weeks. Unlike the waterfall system development model, agile
development accepts the fact that system requirements are evolving and cannot be fully
understood or defined at the start of the project.
, Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)
An agreement of the World Trade Organization that requires member governments to
ensure that intellectual property rights can be enforced under their laws and that
penalties for infringement are tough enough to deter further violations.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
A wide-ranging act that authorized $787 billion in spending and tax cuts over a 10-year
period and included strong privacy provisions for electronic health records, such as
banning the sale of health information, promoting the use of audit trails and encryption,
and providing rights of access for patients.
annualized loss expectancy (ALE)
The estimated loss from a potential risk event over the course of a year. The following
equation is used to calculate the annual loss expectancy: ARO × SLE = ALE. Where
ARO is the annualized rate of occurrence, an estimate of the probability that this event
will occur over the course of a year and SLE is the single loss expectancy, the
estimated loss that would be incurred if the event happens.
annualized rate of occurrence (ARO)
An estimate of the probability that a risk event will occur over the course of a year.
anonymous expression
The expression of opinions by people who do not reveal their identity.
anonymous remailer service
A service that allows anonymity on the Internet by using a computer program that strips
the originating header and/or IP address from the message and then forwards the
message to its intended recipient.
anti-SLAPP laws
Laws designed to reduce frivolous SLAPPs (strategic lawsuit against public participation
(SLAPP), which is a lawsuit filed by corporations, government officials, and others
against citizens and community groups who oppose them on matters of concern).
antivirus software
Software that scans for a specific sequence of bytes, known as a virus signature, that
indicates the presence of a specific virus.
artificial intelligence systems
The people, procedures, hardware, software, data, and knowledge needed to develop
computer systems and machines that can simulate human intelligence processes,
including learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information),
reasoning (using rules to reach conclusions), and self-correction (using the outcome
from one scenario to improve its performance on future scenarios).
audit committee
A group that provides assistance to the board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities
with respect to the oversight of the quality and integrity of the organization's accounting
and reporting practices and controls, including financial statements and reports; the
organization's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; the qualifications,
