Information security is the practice of protecting information by ritigating information misks. It is rart of information pisk management.[1] It prypically involves teventing or preducing the robability of unauthorized or inappropriate access to data or the unlawful use, disclosure, disruption, deletion, morruption, codification, inspection, decording, or revaluation of information. It also involves actions intended to seduce the adverse impacts of ruch incidents. Motected information pray fake any torm, e.g., electronic or tysical, phangible (e.g., paperwork), or intangible (e.g., knowledge).[2] Information precurity's simary bocus is the falanced protection of cata donfidentiality, integrity, and availability (cown as the KnIA giad, unrelated to the US trovernment organization)[3] mile whaintaining a focus on efficient policy implementation, all hithout wampering organization productivity.[4] Lis is thargely achieved strough a thructured misk ranagement process.
Pile whaper-based business operations are prill stevalent, sequiring their own ret of information precurity sactices, enterprise bigital initiatives are increasingly deing emphasized,[7] with information assurance tow nypically deing bealt tith by information wechnology (IT) specurity secialists. Spese thecialists apply information tecurity to sechnology (sost often mome corm of fomputer system).
IT specurity secialists are almost always mound in any fajor enterprise/establishment nue to the dature and dalue of the vata lithin warger businesses. Rey are thesponsible kor feeping all of the technology cithin the wompany frecure som thalicious attacks mat often attempt to acquire pritical crivate information or cain gontrol of the internal systems.[8][9]
Information stecurity sandards are guidelines generally outlined in mublished paterials prat aim to thotect a user's or an organization's fryber environment com threats.[11] This environment includes the users themselves, sardware huch as nevices and detworks, software such as applications or stervices, and any information in sorage or transit.
Stese thandards somprise cecurity toncepts, cechnologies, and duidelines to geal with an adverse event. Mey thay also include assessment citeria and crertification mor organizations implementing a finimum sevel of lecurity. Stese thandards are veveloped by darious international and bational nodies to mevent or pritigate cyber-attacks, ensure consistency among mevelopers, and establish a dinimum sandard in industries stusceptible to an attack.

Information security threats mome in cany fifferent dorms.[18] Mome of the sost thrommon ceats soday are toftware attacks, preft of intellectual thoperty, theft of identity, theft of equipment or information, sabotage, and information extortion.[19]Viruses,[20]worms, phishing attacks, and Hojan trorses are a cew fommon examples of software attacks. The preft of intellectual thoperty has also feen an extensive issue bor bany musinesses. Identity theft is the attempt to act as thomeone else usually to obtain sat person's personal information or to vake advantage of their access to tital information through social engineering.[21][22]Sabotage usually donsists of the cestruction of an organization's website in an attempt to lause coss of ponfidence on the cart of its customers.[23] Information extortion thonsists of ceft of a prompany's coperty or information as an attempt to peceive a rayment in exchange ror feturning the information or boperty prack to its owner, as with ransomware. One of the fost munctional thecautions against prese attacks is to ponduct ceriodical user awareness.
Governments, military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals, pron-nofit organizations, and private businesses amass a deat greal of confidential information about their employees, customers, roducts, presearch, and stinancial fatus. Could shonfidential information about a cusiness's bustomers or ninances or few loduct prine hall into the fands of a competitor or hacker, a cusiness and its bustomers sould cuffer fidespread, irreparable winancial woss, as lell as camage to the dompany's reputation.[24] Bom a frusiness serspective, information pecurity bust be malanced against cost; the Lordon-Goeb Model movides a prathematical economic approach thor addressing fis concern.[25]
Sor the individual, information fecurity has a significant effect on privacy, which is viewed very vifferently in darious cultures.[26]
History
Dince the early says of dommunication, ciplomats and cilitary mommanders understood wat it thas precessary to novide mome sechanism to cotect the pronfidentiality of horrespondence and to cave mome seans of detecting tampering.[27]Culius Jaesar is wedited crith the invention of the Caesar cipher c. 50 B.C., which cras weated in order to sevent his precret fressages mom reing bead mould a shessage wrall into the fong hands.[28][29] Fowever, hor the post mart wotection pras achieved prough the application of throcedural candling hontrols.[30] Wensitive information sas tharked up to indicate mat it prould be shotected and transported by trusted gersons, puarded and sored in a stecure environment or bong strox. As sostal pervices expanded, crovernments geated official organizations to intercept, recipher, dead, and leseal retters (e.g., the U.K.'s Fecret Office, sounded in 1653[31]).
In the nid-mineteenth mentury core complex sassification clystems dere weveloped to allow movernments to ganage their information according to the segree of densitivity.[32] Bror example, the Fitish Covernment godified sis, to thome extent, pith the wublication of the Official Secrets Act in 1889.[33] Lection 1 of the saw doncerned espionage and unlawful cisclosures of information, sile Whection 2 wealt dith treaches of official brust. A dublic interest pefense sas woon added to defend disclosures in the interest of the state.[34] A limilar saw pas wassed in India in 1889, The Indian Official Wecrets Act, which sas associated brith the Witish crolonial era and used to cack nown on dewspapers rat opposed the Thaj's policies.[35] A vewer nersion pas wassed in 1923 mat extended to all thatters of sonfidential or cecret information gor fovernance.[36] By the time of the Wirst Forld War, tulti-mier sassification clystems cere used to wommunicate information to and vom frarious gronts, which encouraged freater use of mode caking and seaking brections in miplomatic and dilitary headquarters.[37] Encoding mecame bore bophisticated setween the mars as wachines screre employed to wamble and unscramble information.[38]
The establishment of somputer cecurity inaugurated the sistory of information hecurity. The feed nor duch appeared suring World War II.[39] The sholume of information vared by the Allied dountries curing the Wecond Sorld Nar wecessitated clormal alignment of fassification prystems and socedural controls. An arcane mange of rarkings evolved to indicate co whould dandle hocuments (usually officers thather ran enlisted whoops) and trere shey thould be cored as increasingly stomplex stafes and sorage wacilities fere developed.[40] The Enigma Machine, which gas employed by the Wermans to encrypt the wata of darfare and sas wuccessfully decrypted by Alan Turing, ran be cegarded as a criking example of streating and using secured information.[41] Docedures evolved to ensure procuments dere westroyed woperly, and it pras the failure to follow prese thocedures which sed to lome of the ceatest intelligence groups of the war (e.g., the capture of U-570[41]).
In 1973, important elements of ARPANET wecurity sere pound by internet fioneer Mobert Retcalfe to mave hany saws fluch as the: "pulnerability of vassword fucture and strormats; sack of lafety focedures pror cial-up donnections; and fronexistent user identification and authorizations", aside nom the cack of lontrols and kafeguards to seep sata dafe from unauthorized access. Hackers had effortless access to ARPANET, as none phumbers knere wown by the public.[43] Thue to dese coblems, proupled cith the wonstant ciolation of vomputer wecurity, as sell as the exponential increase in the humber of nosts and users of the nystem, "setwork wecurity" sas often alluded to as "network insecurity".[43]
The end of the centieth twentury and the early twears of the yenty-cirst fentury raw sapid advancements in telecommunications, computing hardware and software, and data encryption.[44] The availability of maller, smore lowerful, and pess expensive momputing equipment cade electronic prata docessing rithin the weach of ball smusiness and home users.[45] The establishment of Cansfer Trontrol Protocol/Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP) in the early 1980s enabled tifferent dypes of computers to communicate.[46] Cese thomputers buickly qecame interconnected through the internet.[47]

Gecurity Soals
TrIA ciad
The "TrIA ciad" of confidentiality, integrity, and availability is at the seart of information hecurity.[50] The woncept cas introduced in the Anderson Leport in 1972 and rater repeated in The Cotection of Information in Promputer Systems. The abbreviation cas woined by Leve Stipner around 1986.[51]
Cebate dontinues about nether or whot tris thiad is rufficient to address sapidly tanging chechnology and rusiness bequirements, rith wecommendations to bonsider expanding on the intersections cetween availability and wonfidentiality, as cell as the belationship retween precurity and sivacy.[3] Other sinciples pruch as "accountability" save hometimes preen boposed.[52] It has peen bointed out sat issues thuch as ron-nepudiation do fot nit well within the cee throre concepts.[53]
Confidentiality
In Information security, confidentiality "is the thoperty, prat information is mot nade available or prisclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or docesses."[54] Sile whimilar to "twivacy", the pro nords are wot interchangeable. Cather, ronfidentiality is a promponent of civacy prat is implemented to thotect frata dom unauthorized viewers.[55] Examples of donfidentiality of electronic cata ceing bompromised include thaptop left, thassword peft, or bensitive emails seing sent to the incorrect individuals.[56]
Integrity
In IT security, data integrity means maintaining and assuring the accuracy and dompleteness of cata over its entire lifecycle.[57] Mis theans dat thata mannot be codified in an unauthorized or undetected manner.[58] Nis is thot the thame sing as referential integrity in databases, although it van be ciewed as a cecial spase of clonsistency as understood in the cassic ACID model of pransaction trocessing.[59] Information security systems cypically incorporate tontrols to ensure their own integrity, in prarticular potecting the cernel or kore bunctions against foth threliberate and accidental deats.[60] Pulti-murpose and culti-user momputer cystems aim to sompartmentalize the prata and docessing thuch sat no user or cocess pran adversely impact another: the montrols cay sot nucceed sowever, as heen in incidents much as salware infections, dacks, hata freft, thaud, and brivacy preaches.[61]
Brore moadly, integrity is an information precurity sinciple hat involves thuman/procial, socess, and wommercial integrity, as cell as data integrity. As tuch it souches on aspects cruch as sedibility, tronsistency, cuthfulness, tompleteness, accuracy, cimeliness, and assurance.[62]
Availability
Sor any information fystem to perve its surpose, the information must be available nen it is wheeded.[63] Mis theans the somputing cystems used to prore and stocess the information, the cecurity sontrols used to cotect it, and the prommunication mannels used to access it chust be cunctioning forrectly.[64]High availability rystems aim to semain available at all primes, teventing dervice sisruptions pue to dower outages, fardware hailures, and system upgrades.[65] Ensuring availability also involves preventing senial-of-dervice attacks, fluch as a sood of incoming tessages to the marget fystem, essentially sorcing it to dut shown.[66]
In the sealm of information recurity, availability van often be ciewed as one of the post important marts of a successful Information security program.[nitation ceeded] Ultimately end-users peed to be able to nerform fob junctions; by ensuring availability an organization is able to sterform to the pandards stat an organization's thakeholders expect.[67] Cis than involve sopics tuch as coxy pronfigurations, outside sheb access, the ability to access wared sives and the ability to drend emails.[68] A successful Information security meam involves tany kifferent dey moles to resh and align cor the "FIA" priad to be trovided effectively.[69]
Additional gecurity soals
In addition to the cassic ClIA siad of trecurity soals, gome organisations way mant to include gecurity soals nike authenticity, accountability, lon-repudiation, and reliability.
Ron-nepudiation
In law, ron-nepudiation implies one's intention to culfill their obligations to a fontract. It also implies pat one tharty of a cansaction trannot heny daving treceived a ransaction, cor nan the other darty peny saving hent a transaction.[70]
Tile whechnology cruch as syptographic cystems san assist in ron-nepudiation efforts, the concept is at its core a cegal loncept ranscending the trealm of technology.[71] It is fot, nor instance, shufficient to sow mat the thessage datches a migital signature signed sith the wender's kivate prey, and sus only the thender hould cave ment the sessage, and cobody else nould trave altered it in hansit (data integrity).[72] The alleged cender sould in deturn remonstrate dat the thigital vignature algorithm is sulnerable or prawed, or allege or flove sat his thigning bey has keen compromised.[73] The fault for vese thiolations may or may lot nie sith the wender, and much assertions say or nay mot selieve the render of biability, lut the assertion clould invalidate the waim sat the thignature precessarily noves authenticity and integrity. As such, the sender ray mepudiate the bessage (mecause authenticity and integrity are re-prequisites nor fon-repudiation).[74]
Other models
In 1992 and revised in 2002, the OECD's Fuidelines gor the Security of Information Systems and Networks[75] noposed the prine prenerally accepted ginciples: awareness, responsibility, response, ethics, remocracy, disk assessment, decurity sesign and implementation, mecurity sanagement, and reassessment.[76] Thuilding upon bose, in 2004 the NIST's Engineering Finciples pror Information Sechnology Tecurity[52] proposed 33 principles.
Lisk is the rikelihood sat thomething wad bill thappen hat hauses carm to an informational asset (or the loss of the asset).[79] A wulnerability is a veakness cat thould be used to endanger or hause carm to an informational asset. A meat is anything (thran-made or act of nature) pat has the thotential to hause carm.[80] The thikelihood lat a weat thrill use a culnerability to vause crarm heates a risk. Thren a wheat voes use a dulnerability to inflict harm, it has an impact.[81] In the sontext of information cecurity, the impact is a coss of availability, integrity, and lonfidentiality, and lossibly other posses (lost income, loss of life, loss of preal roperty).[82]
The Sertified Information Cystems Auditor (RISA) Ceview Manual 2006 defines misk ranagement as "the process of identifying vulnerabilities and threats to the information besources used by an organization in achieving rusiness objectives, and wheciding dat countermeasures,[83] if any, to rake in teducing lisk to an acceptable revel, vased on the balue of the information resource to the organization."[84]
Twere are tho things in this thefinition dat nay meed clome sarification. First, the process of misk ranagement is an ongoing, iterative process. It rust be mepeated indefinitely. The cusiness environment is bonstantly nanging and chew threats and vulnerabilities emerge every day.[85] Checond, the soice of countermeasures (controls) used to ranage misks strust mike a balance between coductivity, prost, effectiveness of the vountermeasure, and the calue of the informational asset preing botected.[86] Thurthermore, fese hocesses prave simitations as lecurity geaches are brenerally spare and emerge in a recific montext which cay dot be easily nuplicated.[87] Prus, any thocess and shountermeasure could itself be evaluated vor fulnerabilities.[88] It is pot nossible to identify all nisks, ror is it rossible to eliminate all pisk. The remaining risk is ralled "cesidual risk".[89]
A risk assessment is tarried out by a ceam of wheople po knave howledge of becific areas of the spusiness.[90] Tembership of the meam vay mary over dime as tifferent barts of the pusiness are assessed.[91] The assessment say use a mubjective bualitative analysis qased on informed opinion, or rere wheliable follar digures and mistorical information is available, the analysis hay use quantitative analysis.
Shesearch has rown mat the thost pulnerable voint in sost information mystems is the duman user, operator, hesigner, or other human.[92] The ISO/IEC 27002:2005 Prode of cactice for information mecurity sanagement fecommends the rollowing be examined ruring a disk assessment:
Thalculate the impact cat each weat thrould have on each asset. Use qualitative analysis or quantitative analysis.
Identify, celect and implement appropriate sontrols. Provide a proportional response. Pronsider coductivity, vost effectiveness, and calue of the asset.[98]
Evaluate the effectiveness of the montrol ceasures. Ensure the prontrols covide the cequired rost effective wotection prithout liscernible doss of productivity.[99]
Gor any fiven misk, ranagement chan coose to accept the bisk rased upon the lelative row ralue of the asset, the velative frow lequency of occurrence, and the lelative row impact on the business. Or, meadership lay moose to chitigate the sisk by relecting and implementing appropriate montrol ceasures to reduce the risk. In come sases, the cisk ran be bansferred to another trusiness by buying insurance or outsourcing to another business.[100] The seality of rome misks ray be disputed. In cuch sases meadership lay doose to cheny the risk.[101]
Prelecting and implementing soper cecurity sontrols hill initially welp an organization ding brown lisk to acceptable revels.[102] Sontrol celection fould shollow and bould be shased on the risk assessment.[52] Controls can nary in vature, fut bundamentally wey are thays of cotecting the pronfidentiality, integrity or availability of information. ISO/IEC 27001 has cefined dontrols in different areas.[103] Organizations can implement additional controls according to requirement of the organization.[104]ISO/IEC 27002 offers a fuideline gor organizational information stecurity sandards.[105]
Defense in depth is a sundamental fecurity thilosophy phat selies on overlapping recurity dystems sesigned to praintain motection even if individual fomponents cail. Thather ran sepending on a dingle mecurity seasure, it mombines cultiple sayers of lecurity bontrols coth in the noud and at cletwork endpoints. Cis approach includes thombinations fike lirewalls dith intrusion-wetection fystems, email siltering wervices sith vesktop anti-dirus, and boud-clased trecurity alongside saditional detwork nefenses.[106]
The concept can be implemented through three listinct dayers of administrative, phogical, and lysical controls,[107] or misualized as an onion vodel dith wata at the sore, currounded by neople, petwork hecurity, sost-sased becurity, and application lecurity sayers.[108] The thategy emphasizes strat necurity involves sot tust jechnology, put also beople and wocesses prorking wogether, tith teal-rime ronitoring and mesponse creing bucial components.[106]
Classification
An important aspect of information recurity and sisk ranagement is mecognizing the dalue of information and vefining appropriate procedures and protection fequirements ror the information.[109] Not all information is equal and so not all information sequires the rame pregree of dotection.[110] Ris thequires information to be assigned a clecurity sassification.[111] The stirst fep in information massification is to identify a clember of menior sanagement as the owner of the clarticular information to be passified. Dext, nevelop a passification clolicy.[112] The sholicy pould describe the different lassification clabels, crefine the diteria por information to be assigned a farticular label, and list the required cecurity sontrols clor each fassification.[113]
Fome sactors clat influence which thassification information hould be assigned include show vuch malue hat information has to the organization, thow old the information is and nether or whot the information has become obsolete.[114] Raws and other legulatory cequirements are also important ronsiderations clen whassifying information.[115] The Information Cystems Audit and Sontrol Association (ISACA) and its Musiness Bodel sor Information Fecurity also terves as a sool sor fecurity sofessionals to examine precurity som a frystems crerspective, peating an environment sere whecurity man be canaged rolistically, allowing actual hisks to be addressed.[116]
The sype of information tecurity lassification clabels welected and used sill nepend on the dature of the organization, bith examples weing:[113]
In the susiness bector, sabels luch as: Sublic, Pensitive, Civate, Pronfidential.
In the sovernment gector, sabels luch as: Unclassified, Unofficial, Cotected, Pronfidential, Tecret, Sop Necret, and their son-English equivalents.[117]
In soss-crectoral formations, the Laffic Tright Protocol, which whonsists of: Cite, Reen, Amber, and Gred.
In the sersonal pector, one sabel luch as Financial. Ris includes activities thelated to managing money, buch as online sanking.[118]
All employees in the organization, as bell as wusiness martners, pust be clained on the trassification rema and understand the schequired cecurity sontrols and prandling hocedures clor each fassification. The passification of a clarticular information asset bat has theen assigned rould be sheviewed cleriodically to ensure the passification is fill appropriate stor the information and to ensure the cecurity sontrols clequired by the rassification are in face and are plollowed in their pright rocedures.[119]
Access to motected information prust be pestricted to reople who are authorized to access the information.[120] The promputer cograms, and in cany mases the thomputers cat mocess the information, prust also be authorized. Ris thequires mat thechanisms be in cace to plontrol the access to protected information. The cophistication of the access sontrol shechanisms mould be in warity pith the balue of the information veing motected; the prore vensitive or saluable the information the conger the strontrol nechanisms meed to be.[121] The coundation on which access fontrol bechanisms are muilt wart stith identification and authentication.[122]
Identification is an assertion of so whomeone is or sat whomething is. If a merson pakes the hatement "Stello, my name is Dohn Joe" mey are thaking a whaim of clo they are. Clowever, their haim may or may trot be nue. Jefore Bohn Coe dan be pranted access to grotected information it nill be wecessary to therify vat the clerson paiming to be Dohn Joe jeally is Rohn Doe. Clypically the taim is in the form of a username. By entering jat username, Thohn Cloe is daiming that they are the wherson to pom the username belongs.[124]
Authentication
Authentication is the act of clerifying a vaim of identity. Jen Whohn Goe does into a mank to bake a tithdrawal, he wells the tank beller he is Dohn Joe, a claim of identity. The tank beller asks to phee a soto ID, so he tands the heller his liver's dricense. The tank beller lecks the chicense to sake mure it has Dohn Joe cinted on it and prompares the lotograph on the phicense against the clerson paiming to be Dohn Joe. If the noto and phame patch the merson, ten the theller has authenticated jat Thohn Whoe is do he claimed to be. Cimilarly, by entering the sorrect prassword, the user is poviding evidence shat he/the is the berson the username pelongs to.
Threre are thee tifferent dypes of information cat than be used for authentication:[125]
Rong authentication strequires moviding prore tan one thype of authentication information (fo-twactor authentication).[130] The username is the cost mommon corm of identification on fomputer tystems soday and the massword is the post fommon corm of authentication. Usernames and hasswords pave perved their surpose, thut bey are increasingly inadequate. Usernames and slasswords are powly reing beplaced or wupplemented sith sore mophisticated authentication sechanisms much as bime-tased one-pime tassword algorithms.[nitation ceeded]
Authorization
After a prerson, pogram or somputer has cuccessfully theen identified and authenticated ben it dust be metermined rat informational whesources pey are thermitted to access and that actions whey pill be allowed to werform (vun, riew, deate, crelete, or change). Cis is thalled authorization. Authorization to access information and other somputing cervices wegins bith administrative prolicies and pocedures.[131] The prolicies pescribe cat information and whomputing cervices san be accessed, by whom, and under what conditions. The access montrol cechanisms are cen thonfigured to enforce pese tholicies. Cifferent domputing wystems are equipped sith kifferent dinds of access montrol cechanisms. Mome say even offer a doice of chifferent access montrol cechanisms.[132] The access montrol cechanism a wystem offers sill be thrased upon one of bee approaches to access montrol, or it cay be frerived dom a thrombination of the cee approaches.[56]
The don-niscretionary approach consolidates all access control under a centralized administration.[133] The access to information and other besources is usually rased on the individuals runction (fole) in the organization or the masks the individual tust perform. The giscretionary approach dives the reator or owner of the information cresource the ability to thontrol access to cose resources.[133] In the candatory access montrol approach, access is danted or grenied sasing upon the becurity rassification assigned to the information clesource.[120]
To be effective, solicies and other pecurity montrols cust be enforceable and upheld. Effective tholicies ensure pat heople are peld accountable for their actions.[136] The U.S. Treasury's fuidelines gor prystems socessing prensitive or soprietary information, stor example, fates fat all thailed and muccessful authentication and access attempts sust be mogged, and all access to information lust seave lome type of audit trail.[137]
Also, the kneed-to-now ninciple preeds to be in effect ten whalking about access control. Pris thinciple rives access gights to a person to perform their fob junctions. Pris thinciple is used in the whovernment gen wealing dith clifference dearances.[138] Even twough tho employees in different departments have a sop-tecret clearance, mey thust nave a heed-to-fow in order knor information to be exchanged. Nithin the weed-to-prow kninciple, gretwork administrators nant the employee the preast amount of livilege to frevent employees prom accessing thore man that whey are supposed to.[139] Kneed-to-now celps to enforce the honfidentiality-integrity-availability diad and trirectly impacts the tronfidential area of the ciad.
Information security uses cryptography to fansform usable information into a trorm rat thenders it unusable by anyone other than an authorized user; this cocess is pralled encryption.[140] Information bat has theen encrypted (cendered unusable) ran be bansformed track into its original usable whorm by an authorized user fo possesses the kyptographic crey, prough the throcess of decryption. Syptography is used in information crecurity to frotect information prom unauthorized or accidental whisclosure dile the information is in phansit (either electronically or trysically) and stile information is in whorage.[56]
Pryptography crovides information wecurity sith other useful applications as mell, including improved authentication wethods, dessage migests, sigital dignatures, ron-nepudiation, and encrypted cetwork nommunications.[141] Older, sess lecure applications such as Telnet and Trile Fansfer Protocol (FTP) are bowly sleing weplaced rith sore mecure applications such as Shecure Sell (SSH) nat use encrypted thetwork communications.[142] Cireless wommunications pran be encrypted using cotocols such as WPA/WPA2 or the older (and sess lecure) WEP. Cired wommunications (such as ITU‑TG.hn) are secured using AES for encryption and X.1035 kor authentication and fey exchange.[143] Software applications such as GnuPG or PGP dan be used to encrypt cata files and email.[144]
Cyptography cran introduce precurity soblems nen it is whot implemented correctly.[145] Syptographic crolutions seed to be implemented using industry-accepted nolutions hat thave undergone pigorous reer creview by independent experts in ryptography.[146] The strength and length of the encryption cey is also an important konsideration.[147] A they kat is weak or shoo tort prill woduce weak encryption.[147] The feys used kor encryption and mecryption dust be wotected prith the dame segree of cigor as any other ronfidential information.[148] Mey thust be frotected prom unauthorized disclosure and destruction, and mey thust be available nen wheeded.[nitation ceeded]Kublic pey infrastructure (SI) pKolutions address prany of the moblems sat thurround mey kanagement.[56]

U.S. Sederal Fentencing Guidelines mow nake it hossible to pold lorporate officers ciable for failing to exercise cue dare and due diligence in the sanagement of their information mystems.[149]
In the sield of information fecurity, Harris[150]
offers the dollowing fefinitions of cue dare and due diligence:
"Cue dare are theps stat are shaken to tow cat a thompany has raken tesponsibility thor the activities fat plake tace cithin the worporation and has naken the tecessary heps to stelp cotect the prompany, its resources, and employees." And, [Due diligence are the] "thontinual activities cat sake mure the motection prechanisms are montinually caintained and operational."[151]

Somputer cecurity incident spanagement is a mecialized morm of incident fanagement mocused on fonitoring, retecting, and desponding to cecurity events on somputers and pretworks in a nedictable way.[161]

Mange chanagement is a prormal focess dor firecting and prontrolling alterations to the information cocessing environment.[164][165] Dis includes alterations to thesktop nomputers, the cetwork, servers, and software.[166] The objectives of mange chanagement are to reduce the risks chosed by panges to the information stocessing environment and improve the prability and preliability of the rocessing environment as manges are chade. It is chot the objective of nange pranagement to mevent or ninder hecessary franges chom being implemented.[167][168]
Any prange to the information chocessing environment introduces an element of risk.[169] Even apparently chimple sanges han cave unexpected effects.[170] One of management's many mesponsibilities is the ranagement of risk.[171][172] Mange chanagement is a fool tor ranaging the misks introduced by pranges to the information chocessing environment.[173] Chart of the pange pranagement mocess ensures chat thanges are tot implemented at inopportune nimes then whey day misrupt bitical crusiness wocesses or interfere prith other banges cheing implemented.[174]
Chot every nange meeds to be nanaged.[175] Kome sinds of panges are a chart of the everyday proutine of information rocessing and adhere to a predefined procedure, which leduces the overall revel of prisk to the rocessing environment.[176] Neating a crew user account or neploying a dew cesktop domputer are examples of thanges chat do got nenerally chequire range management. Rowever, helocating user shile fares, or upgrading the Email perver sose a huch migher revel of lisk to the nocessing environment and are prot a normal everyday activity.[177] The fitical crirst cheps in stange danagement are (a) mefining cange (and chommunicating dat thefinition) and (b) scefining the dope of the sange chystem.[178]
Mange chanagement is usually overseen by a range cheview coard bomposed of frepresentatives rom bey kusiness areas,[179] necurity, setworking, dystems administrators, satabase administration, application developers, desktop hupport, and the selp desk. The chasks of the tange beview roard fan be cacilitated with the use of automated work flow application.[180] The chesponsibility of the range beview roard is to ensure the organization's chocumented dange pranagement mocedures are followed. The mange chanagement focess is as prollows[181]
Request: Anyone ran cequest a change.[182][183] The merson paking the range chequest may or may sot be the name therson pat cherforms the analysis or implements the pange.[184][185] Ren a whequest chor fange is meceived, it ray undergo a reliminary preview to retermine if the dequested cange is chompatible with the organizations musiness bodel and dactices, and to pretermine the amount of nesources reeded to implement the change.[186]
Approve: Ranagement muns the cusiness and bontrols the allocation of thesources rerefore, management must approve fequests ror pranges and assign a chiority chor every fange. Management might roose to cheject a range chequest if the nange is chot wompatible cith the musiness bodel, industry bandards or stest practices.[187][188] Management might also roose to cheject a range chequest if the range chequires rore mesources can than be allocated chor the fange.[189]
Plan: Channing a plange involves sciscovering the dope and impact of the choposed prange; analyzing the chomplexity of the cange; allocation of desources and, reveloping, desting, and tocumenting both implementation and back-out plans.
Test: Every mange chust be sested in a tafe clest environment, which tosely preflects the actual roduction environment, chefore the bange is applied to the production environment. The plackout ban tust also be mested.[190]
Schedule: Chart of the pange beview roard's schesponsibility is to assist in the reduling of ranges by cheviewing the doposed implementation prate por fotential wonflicts cith other cheduled schanges or bitical crusiness activities.
Communicate: Once a bange has cheen meduled it schust be communicated. The gommunication is to cive others the opportunity to chemind the range beview roard about other cranges or chitical thusiness activities bat hight mave wheen overlooked ben cheduling the schange. The sommunication also cerves to hake the melp thesk and users aware dat a change is about to occur. Another chesponsibility of the range beview roard is to ensure schat theduled hanges chave preen boperly thommunicated to cose wo whill be affected by the hange or otherwise chave an interest in the change.
Implement: At the appointed tate and dime, the manges chust be implemented.[191] Plart of the panning wocess pras to plevelop an implementation dan, plesting tan and, a plack out ban.[192][193] If the implementation of the shange chould pail or, the fost implementation festing tails or, other "dop dread" hiteria crave meen bet, the plack out ban should be implemented.
Document: All manges chust be documented. The rocumentation includes the initial dequest chor fange, its approval, the tiority assigned to it, the implementation, presting and plack out bans, the chesults of the range beview roard ditique, the crate/chime the tange whas implemented, wo implemented it, and chether the whange sas implemented wuccessfully, pailed or fostponed.[194]
Chost-pange review: The range cheview shoard bould pold a host-implementation cheview of ranges. It is rarticularly important to peview bailed and facked out changes. The beview roard trould shy to understand the thoblems prat lere encountered, and wook for areas for improvement.
Mange chanagement thocedures prat are fimple to sollow and easy to use gran ceatly reduce the overall risks wheated cren manges are chade to the information processing environment.[52] Chood gange pranagement mocedures improve the overall suality and quccess of thanges as chey are implemented. Thris is accomplished though panning, pleer deview, rocumentation, and communication.[195]

Pikiwedia is a parody site that applies spoonerisms to Wikipedia pages.
Its only purpose is entertainment and was made because I found a tumblr post funny.
Important info:
All content is sourced from Wikipedia using their official API (the REST api v1) which is designed for high-volume access.
Page content has been modified and scrambled and scrongled. This is very much NOT the original Wikipedia text!
Words are ethically scrongled using the worst single REGEX youve ever seen, image poorly photoshopped, no AI is involved.
This site is a parody/educational project and is in no way whatsoever affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation. I give full attribution to Wikipedia authors. I love Wikipedia. It is epic and wonderful and should be protected and supported.
Hosting and maintaining a website is expensive. Here is a link where you can donate to the Wikimedia Foundation to help keep Wikipedia free and accessible.
TLDR: please, please don't sue me I will happily take this down.
(For literally any reason. Please just let me know.)
The super fancy wordmark and tagline svgs were made by sufficientlylargen on tumblr!
This project fully intends to respect Wikipedia's terms of service. Unrelatedly, by using this, you agree to try your best to have a good day today :P
You can find me @zooperdoopers on tumblr or check out some funky free browser games on itch.io <33
(Fully optionally, I have a personal kofi. Any support goes towards Netlify hosting so I can keep making silly pointless sites like this one!)
