Section: Risk, Response and Recovery
Explanation/Reference:
Circumstantial evidence is defined as inference of information from other, intermediate, relevant facts.
Secondary evidence is a copy of evidence or oral description of its contents. Conclusive evidence is incontrovertible and overrides all other evidence and hearsay evidence is evidence that is not based on personal, first-hand knowledge of the witness, but was obtained from another source. Computer-generated records normally fall under the category of hearsay evidence.

Accreditation is the authorization by management to implement software or systems in a production environment. This authorization may be either provisional or full.
The following are incorrect answers:
Certification is incorrect. Certification is the process of evaluating the security stance of the
software or system against a selected set of standards or policies. Certification is the
technical evaluation of a product. This may precede accreditation but is not a required
precursor.
Acceptance is incorrect. This term is sometimes used as the recognition that a piece of
software or system has met a set of functional or service level criteria (the new payroll
system has passed its acceptance test). Certification is the better tem in this context.
Evaluation is incorrect. Evaluation is certainly a part of the certification process but it is not
the best answer to the question.

In a full mesh topology, all network nodes are individually connected with
each other, providing the highest availability. A partial mesh topology can sometimes be
used to offer some redundancy.
