Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



Rights (TRIPS) An agreement of the World Trade
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



Organization that requires member governments to ensure that
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



intellectual property rights can be enforced under their laws and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



that penalties for infringement are tough enough to deter further
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



violations.


American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
i,- A wide-ranging act i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



that authorized $787 billion in spending and tax cuts over a 10-
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



year period and included strong privacy provisions for electronic

health records, such as banning the sale of health information,

annualized loss expectancy (ALE) The estimated loss from a
i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



potential risk event over the course of a year. The following
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



equation is used to calculate the annual loss expectancy: ARO ×
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



SLE = ALE. Where ARO is the annualized rate of occurrence, an
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



estimate of the probability that this event will occur over the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

,course of a year and SLE is the single loss expectancy, the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



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
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



who do not reveal their identity.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




anonymous remailer service A service that allows anonymity
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



on the Internet by using a computer program that strips the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



originating header and/or IP address from the message and then
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



forwards the message to its intended recipient.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




anti-SLAPP laws Laws designed to reduce frivolous SLAPPs
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



(strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP), which is a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



lawsuit filed by corporations, government officials, and others
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



against citizens and community groups who oppose them on
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



matters of concern). i,- i,-




antivirus software Software that scans for a specific sequence
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



of bytes, known as a virus signature, that indicates the presence
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



of a specific virus.
i,- i,- i,-

,artificial intelligence systems The people, procedures,
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



hardware, software, data, and knowledge needed to develop
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



computer systems and machines that can simulate human
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



intelligence processes, including learning (the acquisition ofi,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



information and rules for using the information), reasoning (usingi,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



rules to reach conclusions), and self-correction (using the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



outcome from one scenario to improve its performance on future
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



scenarios).


acceptable use policy (AUP) A document that stipulates
i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



restrictions and practices that a user must agree in order to use
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



organizational computing and network resources. i,- i,- i,- i,-




acceptance When an organization decides to accept a risk
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



because the cost of avoiding the risk outweighs the potential loss
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



of the risk. A decision to accept a risk can be extremely difficult
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



and controversial when dealing with safety-critical systems
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



because making that determination involves forming personal
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



judgments about the value of human life, assessing potential
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



liability in case of an accident, evaluating the potential impact on
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



the surrounding natural environment, and estimating the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



system's costs and benefits. i,- i,- i,-




advanced persistent threat (APT) A network attack in which
i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



an intruder gains access to a network and stays there—
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

, undetected—with the intention of stealing data over a long i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



period of time (weeks or even months).
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




agile development
i,- A software development methodology in i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



which a system is developed in iterations lasting from one to four
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



weeks. Unlike the waterfall system development model, agile
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



development accepts the fact that system requirements are i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



evolving and cannot be fully understood or defined at the start of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



the project.

audit committee i,- A group that provides assistance to the i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



the oversight of the quality and integrity of the organization's
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



accounting and reporting practices and controls, including i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



financial statements and reports; the organization's compliance
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



with legal and regulatory requirements; the qualifications,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



independence, and performance of the company's independent i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



auditor; and the performance of the company's internal audit
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



team.


avoidance The elimination of a vulnerability that gives rise to
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



a particular risk in order to avoid the risk altogether. This is the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



most effective solution but often not possible due to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
