Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) can protect our data if we have a single disk failure, as default not against more than one. It can however be configured to support multi disk failure, but is rarely done and is expensive.

Scoping is determining which portion of a standard we will deploy in our organization. We take the portions of the standard that we want or that apply to our industry, and determine what is in scope and what is out of scope for us.

While using deprecated objects or code is a security issue, is OWASP A9 using Components with Known Vulnerabilities. A5 Security Misconfiguration would be databases configured incorrectly, not removing out of the box default access and settings. Keeping default usernames and passwords. OS, Web Server, DBMS, applications, etc. Not patched and up to date. Unnecessary features are enabled or installed; this could be open ports, services, pages, accounts, privileges, etc.

Brute Force: Using the entire key space (every possible key); with enough time, any plaintext can be decrypted. Effective against all key-based ciphers except the one-time pad; it would eventually decrypt it, but it would also generate so many false positives that the data would be useless.

Site Selection: Greenfield: Not built on yet; undeveloped land. Topography: the physical shape of the landscape - hills, valleys, trees, streams. Most often used in military sites where they can leverage (sometimes by altering) the topology for higher security. Utilities: How reliable is the power, the internet in the area? Crime: How high are the crime rates in the area? How close are the police?

Threat – A potentially harmful incident (Tsunami, Earthquake, Virus, etc.)

Data Remanence: Data left over after normal removal and deletion of data.

Bollards (Preventative): Used to prevent cars or trucks from entering an area while allowing foot traffic to pass. Often, shops use planters or similar; it looks prettier, but achieves the same goal. Most are static heavy duty objects, but some cylindrical versions can also be electronically raised or lowered to allow authorized traffic past a "no traffic" point. Some are permanent fixtures and can be removed with a key or other unlock function.

White box software testing: The tester has full access to program source code, data structures, variables, etc.

DRP has a lifecycle of Mitigation, Preparation, Response and Recovery. Mitigation: Reduce the impact, and likeliness of a disaster. Preparation: Build programs, procedures and tools for our response. Response: How we react in a disaster, following the procedures. Recovery: Reestablish basic functionality and get back to full production.
