Vulnerability discussion

Failure to protect organizational information from data mining may result in a compromise of information.Data storage objects include, for example, databases, database records, and database fields.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.
