The software program described is one that obfuscates the source code, making it difficult to inspect, manipulate, or reverse engineer. This is characteristic of proprietary source software, where the source code is not openly shared or available for public viewing or modification. Proprietary software companies often obfuscate their code to protect intellectual property and prevent unauthorized use or reproduction of their software. Unlike open-source software, where the source code is available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute, proprietary software keeps its source code a secret to maintain control over the software's functions and distribution.

The AAA Triad in Information Security stands for Authentication, Authorization (also known as Authorisation), and Accounting. These three components are fundamental to ensuring that access to systems is controlled and monitored:

Authenticationis the process of verifying the identity of a user or entity. It ensures that individuals are who they claim to be. This can involve methods such as passwords, biometrics, or tokens.

Authorizationdetermines what an authenticated user is allowed to do. It involves granting or denying rights to access resources and perform actions within a system based on the user's identity.

Accountingkeeps track of user activities. This includes logging when users log in and out, what actions they perform, and what resources they access. It's essential for auditing purposes and can also be used for billing or analyzing resource usage.

These principles are designed to protect information by managing potential risks and controlling access to data. They are part of a broader framework that includes physical, technical, and procedural controls to safeguard information assets.

The term ''Break Glass'' refers to an emergency access procedure that allows users to bypass normal security controls to gain access to a system or service during a critical situation. This method is analogous to breaking the glass of a fire alarm to handle an emergency. In the context of information security management, it is a controlled process that is typically documented, monitored, and audited to ensure it is used only during genuine emergencies.It is a part of an organization's disaster recovery and business continuity planning, ensuring that critical systems can still be accessed when standard authentication methods fail or are unavailable due to various reasons such as service outages, DDoS attacks, or loss of access by the primary administrator12.

Turning on SSID broadcasts is not considered a best practice for securing a wireless network. SSID broadcasts make the network name publicly visible, which can be an invitation for unauthorized users to attempt to access the network. Best practices suggest disabling SSID broadcasts to make the network less visible and thus less likely to be targeted by malicious actors.While using WPA encryption, MAC filtering, and dedicating an access point on a VLAN connected to a firewall are all recommended security measures, advertising the network's presence via SSID broadcasts does not enhance security and could potentially compromise it12.

The statement defines Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), which is a set of policies, processes, practices, and tools that manage the flow of an organization's information throughout its life cycle. ILM is concerned with aligning the business value of information with the most appropriate and cost-effective infrastructure from the moment the information is created until its final disposition. This includes how information is created, stored, used, archived, and eventually disposed of. An effective ILM strategy helps organizations manage their data in compliance with business requirements, regulatory obligations, and cost constraints.
