SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Inculpatory Evidence – Evidence that tends to increase the likelihood of fault or guilt. SOURCE: SP 800-72 Independent Validation Authority – (IVA) Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) – Entity that reviews the soundness of independent tests and system compliance with all stated security controls and risk mitigation actions. IVAs will be designated by the Authorizing Official as needed. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 A comprehensive review, analysis, and testing (software and/or hardware) performed by an objective third party to confirm (i.e., verify) that the requirements are correctly defined, and to confirm (i.e., validate) that the system correctly implements the required functionality and security requirements. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Indication – A sign that an incident may have occurred or may be currently occurring. SOURCE: SP 800-61 Indicator – Recognized action, specific, generalized, or theoretical, that an adversary might be expected to take in preparation for an attack.

NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Industrial Control System – An information system used to control industrial processes such as manufacturing, product handling, production, and distribution. Industrial control systems include supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) used to control geographically dispersed assets, as well as distributed control systems (DCS) and smaller control systems using programmable logic controllers to control localized processes. SOURCE: SP 800-53; SP 800-53A Informal Security Policy – Natural language description, possibly supplemented by mathematical arguments, demonstrating the correspondence of the functional specification to the high-level design.

SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Information Assurance (IA) – Measures that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. These measures include providing for restoration of information systems by incorporating protection, detection, and reaction capabilities. SOURCE: SP 800-59; CNSSI-4009 Information Assurance Component – (IAC) Information Assurance Manager – (IAM) Information Assurance Officer – (IAO) Information Assurance (IA) Professional – An application (hardware and/or software) that provides one or more Information Assurance capabilities in support of the overall security and operational objectives of a system.
