Document Summary

If these happen there are two types of losses that can happen. Initial loss of capability (this will 100% happen) Secondary loss due to recovery actions (this is a possibility of happening, if you have a good server and backup this can be avoided) Each of these are caused by one of the security threats. Human error: accidentally post private information on public profile, restricted information put on searchable websites. Natural disaster: disclosure of data through recovery procedures. Human error: data entry errors, procedural errors (programming errors) Faulty service (have a service but is not working correctly) Human error: billing, shipping, programming and installation errors. Natural disaster: system not restored correctly. Denial of service (service not working at all) Malicious activity: flood the server with millions of requests, denial of service attack, distributed denial of service attack. Natural disaster: during natural disaster time, service is unavailable. Human error: accidental destruction of hardware.
