Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)
Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), originally enacted in 2003 and amended in 2017, is designed to safeguard personal data by regulating its collection, use, and management by both public and private entities. The law requires organizations to obtain individuals’ consent before processing their […]
Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Attribute-based access control (ABAC) is an access management approach that determines user permissions based on a combination of attributes related to the user, the resource, and the environment. These attributes can include details like the user’s role, department, location, time of access, or the sensitivity level of the data being accessed. […]
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science dedicated to developing systems that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence. These tasks include understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, learning from data, and making decisions. AI encompasses various subfields, such as machine learning, neural networks, and natural language processing, aiming to develop algorithms […]
AI Security
AI Security AI security can refer to two different instances. First is the practice of protecting artificial intelligence systems and the data they process from cyber threats, malicious attacks, and unauthorized access. This involves implementing measures to secure AI models, algorithms, and infrastructure, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of AI-driven applications. AI security also […]
Access Control List (ACL)
Access Control List (ACL) Access control list (ACL) is a set of rules that define the permissions granted to users or system processes for accessing specific resources, such as files, directories, or network devices. Each entry in an ACL specifies a subject (user or process) and the level of access allowed (e.g., view, edit, print). […]
Asymmetric Encryption
Asymmetric Encryption Asymmetric encryption is a cryptographic method that uses a pair of keys—a public key and a private key—for secure data encryption and decryption. The public key, which can be shared openly, is used to encrypt the data, while the private key, which is kept secret, is used to decrypt it. This approach ensures […]
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Advanced persistent threat (APT) is a sophisticated and prolonged cyberattack where an intruder gains unauthorized access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period. The goal of an APT is typically to steal sensitive data rather than to cause immediate damage. APTs are characterized by their stealth, continuous monitoring, […]
AI-Ready Security
AI-Ready Security AI-ready security refers to security frameworks and systems optimized to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies for improved threat detection, response, and prevention. AI-ready security systems analyze large volumes of data to identify patterns, predict potential threats, and automate responses. This enhances an organization’s ability to defend against cyber threats […]
AI-Ready Data
AI-Ready Data AI-ready data is data that has been meticulously prepared, structured, and formatted to be effectively utilized in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications. This involves cleaning, normalization, labeling, and integrating data from various sources to ensure high quality, consistency, and relevance. Proper preparation of AI-ready data is essential for building reliable […]
Asset Management
Asset Management Asset management refers to the systematic process of developing, operating, maintaining, and disposing of assets in a secure manner. Assets include intellectual property, hardware, software, and data. Effective asset management ensures that all assets are properly inventoried, protected, and utilized throughout their lifecycle. It involves identifying and classifying assets, assessing their value, implementing […]
Availability
Availability Availability refers to ensuring that information and resources are accessible to authorized users whenever required. This involves keeping the systems operational, minimizing outages, and providing timely access to information. Measures to maintain availability include regular maintenance, continuous monitoring, backup systems, and disaster recovery plans. Availability is a critical aspect of the security triad, alongside […]
Audit Trail
Audit Trail An audit trail is a chronological record that tracks and logs all user activities, system events, and transactions within an information system. This record provides detailed information about who performed an action, what action was taken, when it occurred, and where it took place. Audit trails are essential for ensuring transparency, detecting and […]
