301-350 Cybersecurity and IT Concepts

Front

Sanitization

Back

The process of thoroughly and completely removing data from a storage medium so that file remnants cannot be recovered.

Front

Destruction

Back

An asset disposal technique that ensures that data remnants are rendered physically inaccessible and irrevocable, through degaussing, shredding, or incineration.

Front

Certification

Back

An asset disposal technique that relies on a third party to use sanitization or destruction methods for data remnant removal, and provides documentary evidence that the process is complete and successful.

Front

Continuity of operations (COOP)

Back

Identifies how business processes should deal with both minor and disaster-level disruption by ensuring that there is processing redundancy supporting the workflow.

Front

Capacity planning

Back

A practice which involves estimating the personnel, storage, computer hardware, software, and connection infrastructure resources required over some future period of time.

Front

Fault tolerant

Back

Protection against system failure by providing extra (redundant) capacity. Generally, fault tolerant systems identify and eliminate single points of failure.

Front

Redundancy

Back

Overprovisioning resources at the component, host, and/or site level so that there is failover to a working instance in the event of a problem.

Front

Hot site

Back

A fully configured alternate processing site that can be brought online either instantly or very quickly after a disaster.

Front

Warm site

Back

An alternate processing location that is dormant or performs noncritical functions under normal conditions, but which can be rapidly converted to a key operations site if needed.

Front

Cold site

Back

A predetermined alternate location where a network can be rebuilt after a disaster.
