NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Disclosure of information to unauthorized persons, or a violation of the security policy of a system in which unauthorized intentional or unintentional disclosure, modification, destruction, or loss of an object may have occurred. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Compromising Emanations – Unintentional signals that, if intercepted and analyzed, would disclose the information transmitted, received, handled, or otherwise processed by information systems equipment. See TEMPEST. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Abuse – Intentional or reckless misuse, alteration, disruption, or destruction of information processing resources. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Cryptography – Use of a crypto-algorithm program by a computer to authenticate or encrypt/decrypt information. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Forensics – The practice of gathering, retaining, and analyzing computer-related data for investigative purposes in a manner that maintains the integrity of the data. SOURCE: SP 800-61; CNSSI-4009 Computer Incident Response Team – (CIRT) Group of individuals usually consisting of Security Analysts organized to develop, recommend, and coordinate immediate mitigation actions for containment, eradication, and recovery resulting from computer security incidents. Also called a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) or a CIRC (Computer Incident Response Center, Computer Incident Response Capability, or Cyber Incident Response Team). SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Network Attack (CNA) – Actions taken through the use of computer networks to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy information resident in computers and computer networks, or the computers and networks themselves. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Network Defense(CND) – Actions taken to defend against unauthorized activity within computer networks. CND includes monitoring, detection, analysis (such as trend and pattern analysis), and response and restoration activities. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 40
NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Computer Network Exploitation – (CNE) Computer Network Operations – (CNO) Enabling operations and intelligence collection capabilities conducted through the use of computer networks to gather data from target or adversary information systems or networks. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Comprised of computer network attack, computer network defense, and related computer network exploitation enabling operations. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Security (COMPUSEC) – Measures and controls that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information system assets including hardware, software, firmware, and information being processed, stored, and communicated. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Security Incident – See Incident. Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) – Computer Security Object (CSO) – Computer Security Objects Register – A capability set up for the purpose of assisting in responding to computer security-related incidents; also called a Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT) or a CIRC (Computer Incident Response Center, Computer Incident Response Capability). SOURCE: SP 800-61 A resource, tool, or mechanism used to maintain a condition of security in a computerized environment. These objects are defined in terms of attributes they possess, operations they perform or are performed on them, and their relationship with other objects. SOURCE: FIPS 188; CNSSI-4009 A collection of Computer Security Object names and definitions kept by a registration authority. SOURCE: FIPS 188; CNSSI-4009 Computer Security Subsystem – Hardware/software designed to provide computer security features in a larger system environment. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Computer Virus – See Virus. Computing Environment – Workstation or server (host) and its operating system, peripherals, and applications. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 COMSEC – Communications Security. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 41
