WGU D333 Ethics in Technology - WGU
1. A document that stipulates restrictions and practices that a user must
agree in order to use organizational computing and network resources.
ANS acceptable use policy (AUP)
2. 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-criti- cal 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.
ANS acceptance
3. 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).
ANS advanced persistent threat (APT)
,4. A software development methodology in which a system is developed in
iterations lasting from one to four weeks. Unlike the waterfall system devel-
opment model, agile development accepts the fact that system
requirements are evolving and cannot be fully understood or defined at the
start of the project.
ANS agile development
5.An agreement of the World Trade Organization that requires member
govern- ments to ensure that intellectual property rights can be enforced
under their laws and that penalties for infringement are tough enough to
deter further violations.
ANS Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
Rights (TRIPS)
6. 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.
ANS American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
7. 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
ANS 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.
ANS annualized loss expectancy (ALE)
8. An estimate of the probability that a risk event will occur over the course
of a year.
ANS annualized rate of occurrence (ARO)
9. The expression of opinions by people who do not reveal their identity.
ANS -
anonymous expression
, 10.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.
ANS anonymous remailer service
11.Laws designed to reduce frivolous SLAPPs (strategic lawsuit against
pub- lic 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).
ANS anti-SLAPP laws
12.Software that scans for a specific sequence of bytes, known as a virus
signature, that indicates the presence of a specific virus.
ANS antivirus software
13.The people, procedures, hardware, software, data, and knowledge
needed to develop computer systems and machines that can simulate
human in- telligence 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).
ANS artificial intelligence systems
