Information at rest refers to the state of information when it is located on a secondary storage device (e.g., disk drive and tape drive) within an organizational information system. Mobile devices, laptops, desktops, and storage devices can be lost or stolen, and the contents of their data storage (e.g., hard drives and non-volatile memory) can be read, copied, or altered. By encrypting the system hard drive, the confidentiality and integrity of any data stored on the system is ensured. FileVault Disk Encryption mitigates this risk.
To check if "FileVault 2" is enabled, run the following command: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/fdesetup status If "FileVault" is "Off" and the device is a mobile device or the organization has determined that the drive must encrypt data at rest, this is a finding.
Open System Preferences >> Security and Privacy and navigate to the "FileVault" tab. Use this panel to configure full-disk encryption. Alternately, from the command line, run the following command to enable "FileVault": /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/fdesetup enable After "FileVault" is initially set up, additional users can be added.
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.
You can obtain data about documents and items in other
formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept:
text/turtle or
Accept: application/rdf+xml.
