- Non-repudiation refers to ensuring a sender of a message cannot deny having sent the message.
- Cyber security encompasses all forms of data or information, except for physical (non-digital) assets.
Risk Management

Threats and Vulnerabilities
- A vulnerability is a weakness in the design, implementation, operation, or internal control of a process that could expose the asset to adverse threats.
- The (potential) result or outcome of the malicious activity of a threat agent is an impact.
- A threat agent is capable of acting against an asset in a manner that can result in harm.
Controls and Risk Reduction
- Controls aim to protect the asset, reduce vulnerabilities and impacts, and/or reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
- Residual risk refers to the remaining risk after controls have been implemented.
- Measures used to protect the asset, reduce vulnerabilities and impacts, and/or reduce the risk to an acceptable level are called controls.
