Notes

  1. 1.

    If there is no uncertainty but only certainty, then there is no risk. It is an actual attack.

  2. 2.

    This section targets written policies. Security tools may also employ policies that are logical rules driving the behavior of the tools or system. This section does not tackle these types of policies.
