Closed-Circuit
Television CCTV
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video
cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. The term
is often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring where
physical security is needed.
A model for enabling on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable IT
capabilities/resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can
be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal operation management effort or service
provider interaction. It allows users to access technology-based services from the cloud
without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that
Cloud Computing
supports them.
The cloud computing model is composed of five essential characteristics: on-demand
self-service, ubiquitous network access, location independent resource pooling, rapid
elasticity and measured service. There are three types of cloud computing services delivery
models: Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS), Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Cloud
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS);
Based on the enterprise access for cloud computing, there are four models: Private Cloud,
Community Cloud, Public Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud.
Disclosure of or obtaining information by unauthorized persons, which are unauthorized to
be leaked or obtained, or violation of the cybersecurity policy of the organization through
Compromise
disclosure, change, sabotage or loss of anything, either intentionally or unintentionally.
The expression “compromise” means disclosure of, obtaining, leaking, altering or use of
sensitive data without authorization (including cryptographic keys and other critical
cybersecurity standards).
Organizational information (or data) that is considered highly critical and sensitive as per
the organization’s data classification, which it has prepared to be used by the organization
itself or other specific organizations. One way to determine the classification of such
Confidential Data/
Information
type of information/data is through assessing the impact from unauthorized disclosure,
access, loss or damage. Impacts could be financial or reputational on the organization or
customers, impact on the lives of people related to the disclosed information, impact and
harm on the national security, economy or capabilities.
Confidential Data/Information includes all information that if disclosed, lost or damaged in
an unauthorized manner, there would be legal consequences.
Confidentiality
Maintaining authorized restrictions on access to and disclosure of information, including
means of protecting privacy/personal information.
These are the assets (i.e., facilities, systems, networks, processes, and key operators who
operate and process them), whose loss or vulnerability to security breaches may result in:
Critical National
Infrastructure
(CNI)
• Significant negative impact on the availability, integration or delivery of basic services,
including services that could result in serious loss of property and/or lives and/or injuries,
alongside observance of significant economic and/or social impacts.
• Significant impact on national security and/or national defense and/or state economy or
national capacities.
