A: OSF stores data in multiple locations and on multiple media types for security. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Once data is deleted, it cannot be recovered.

A: There is a need for state government to address the leading privacy concerns by aligning operational practices with privacy policy. Cyber security has consistently been a top concern for state CIOs, and the NCSR is a voluntary self-assessment survey designed to evaluate cyber security management on the state and local level. The National Governors Association released recommendations regarding cyber security that may be helpful.

A: No, XSS filter bypasses are not considered security bugs in Chrome.

A: Chrome always recommends being on the most recent stable version in order to get the latest security fixes. If you are making a Chromium-based browser, you should aim to release a version of your browser within just a few days of each Chrome stable release in order to stay up-to-date with security fixes.

A: Cloud Dataprep is a special service that is built in collaboration with the external company Trifacta. Trifacta runs, operates, and secures this service with support from Google.

A: Yes, you can have your data deleted by contacting the OSF support team.

A: CISOs need to develop and document strategies in order to command greater budgets and attract or build staff with the necessary competencies. Cyber security must be “baked into” every project, program and management initiative – and not be an administrative afterthought. An approved and proactively communicated strategy can also help CISOs overcome another barrier: “lack of visibility and influence in the enterprise,” an ongoing challenge in the largely federated governance model in state government.

A: No, there is no XSS vulnerability in Chromium related to JavaScript: URLs or the execution of JavaScript in PDF files. However, users should be aware that bookmarklets and the Home button may be configured to execute JavaScript on the currently-loaded page.

A: No, there is no reliable evidence that the ancient Egyptians used the cannabis plant for any purpose.

A: Information security is not just an IT issue. It is also a business issue. Businesses need to be aware of the risks posed by cyber attacks and take steps to protect themselves.

A: No, you cannot just erase sensitive data. You must take steps to ensure that the data is properly secured and that unauthorized access is prevented.

Sending sensitive information via email is generally not considered to be a secure method of communication.

A: The Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program is a government initiative that seeks to improve the security of government networks by moving away from compliance-based reporting and toward real-time threat detection and mitigation. The program provides tools and services to federal, state, and local government entities, as well as defense organizations, to help them strengthen their cyber security posture.

A: malware is a type of software that is designed to harm a user's device.

A: A computer virus is a type of malicious software that can replicate itself and spread from computer to computer. Worms are a subset of computer viruses that have some specific differences.

A: Trojans are malicious programs that pretend to be legitimate software, but which can perform harmful actions when launched. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans cannot spread by themselves. Typically, Trojans are installed secretly, without the user's knowledge, and they deliver their payload without the user's knowledge.

A: Trojan viruses use subterfuge to enter computers and devices, keyloggers are used to obtain confidential data, and phishing is a type of cybercrime that is designed to trick you into disclosing valuable information.

A: Cybercriminals can use drive-by downloads and rootkits to infect your computer with a virus, and adware programs can launch advertisements or redirect search results to promotional websites.

A: A botnet is a network of computers controlled by cybercriminals using a Trojan virus or other malicious program. Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks are designed to hinder or stop the normal functioning of a website, server or other network resource. A Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is similar to a DoS attack, but is conducted using multiple machines.

A: A PIN is a short, numeric code used to verify that a person using a service is authorized to do so. Premium Rate Numbers are phone numbers that provide access to premium rate services. Spam is the term used to describe unsolicited electronic messages. Spyware is a form of malware that is designed to steal confidential data from the computer or mobile device it is running on. A Trojan Horse program is a specific form of malware.

A: We try to make all security bugs public within 14 weeks of the fix landing in the Chromium repository. However, many vulnerabilities affect products besides Chromium, and we don’t want to put users of those products unnecessarily at risk by opening the bug before fixes for the other affected products have shipped. Therefore, we may not make some security bugs public until after they have been fixed.

A: Chrome is not secure against attackers who have physical access to your computer, and there is no way to make it secure.

A: No, indexing a container out of bounds is not considered a security bug.

A: The password manager stores passwords encrypted on disk, but the Google password is not stored in the password manager. This is to prevent an attacker who could temporarily compromise the password manager from also gaining access to all of your passwords.

A: Spotlight Cloud is hosted on Microsoft Azure, which maintains ISO 27001, SOC2 Type II, and many other certifications. Spotlight Cloud is also regularly penetration tested by an independent third party.

A: Spotlight Cloud data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2.

A: If you believe that you have found a security issue in the Open Science Framework, please contact our support team. Do not include details of the issue in that email.

A: The National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework is the best place to start.

A: Yes.

If you would like to have your data removed from Spotlight Cloud and receive verification, please contact us at support@spotlightcloud.io.

A: Google's security is better than yours.

A: 1. Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication
2. Keep your software up to date
3. Use security groups and firewall rules
4. Use encrypted storage
5. Use Cloud IAM to control access to your resources

A: 1. If you believe your system has been compromised, take it offline immediately.
2. Identify the source of the compromise.
3. Take steps to secure your system and prevent future compromises.

A: 1. What is the most important thing to remember about data security?

The most important thing to remember about data security is that you should never store sensitive information in plaintext. This includes passwords, credit card numbers, and social security numbers. Instead, you should use a strong encryption algorithm to encrypt your data before storing it.

2. How can I make sure my data is secure?

There are a few different ways you can make sure your data is secure

A: The chrome browser can only guarantee that it is correctly representing URLs and their origins at the end of all navigation. Quirks of URL parsing, HTTP redirection, and so on are not security concerns unless Chrome is misrepresenting a URL or origin after navigation has completed.

A: You can opt out of having your data collected by deactivating or deleting your account, or by exporting your data and closing your account.

A: No, it's not HIPAA compliant.
