Record 2 2007-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Corporate Security
CONT

Minimization procedures are designed to prevent the broad power of "foreign intelligence gathering" from being used for routine criminal investigations. In a number of instances, however, there are overlaps between foreign intelligence gathering and criminal investigations. One common minimization procedure is what is known as an "information-screening wall. "These "walls" require an official not involved in the criminal investigation to review the raw materials gathered by FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] surveillance and only pass on information that might be relevant evidence. The purpose is to ensure that criminal investigators do not use FISA authority for criminal investigations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité générale de l'entreprise
CONT

La procédure de minimisation des menaces mécaniques peut mettre en lumière d'autres risques de sécurité : en effet, les étapes de cette procédure peuvent contribuer à élargir la surface d'attaque. Cette dernière correspond à l'ensemble des possibilités d'accès à une ressource compte tenu du nombre de points d'entrée permettant de s'introduire dans le système. L'ajout de fonctionnalités destinées à sécuriser une ressource informatique peut contribuer à exposer d'autres vulnérabilités. Toutefois, les menaces mécaniques n'occupent généralement pas une place importante dans une procédure de sécurisation et ne seront donc pas traitées dans le cadre de ce guide.
