Blood Relative (Sib)

Relative by Blood (Sib) is a term used in information security to refer to a close relative who can be used by attackers to gain access to sensitive information. This term is an abbreviation of the English term "Sibling In Bond" and is translated as "Relative in Bond".

Sibs (SIBs) are relatives in a relationship; they are a group of people who can be used to gain access to confidential information. This group may include siblings, parents, children, spouses and other close relatives.

Using blood relatives (Sib) to gain access to sensitive information can be dangerous as an attacker can use them to gain access to protected information. For example, an attacker might try to convince a blood relative to contact an employee who has access to confidential information and ask him to provide access to that information.

To prevent siblings from being used to gain access to sensitive information, companies and organizations must have strict policies and procedures to manage access to protected information. These policies may include identity verification, two-factor authentication, employee training, and other security measures.

Thus, using blood relatives (Sib) to gain access to confidential information is a serious threat to information security. Companies and organizations should take steps to protect their confidential information, including training employees on security practices and implementing effective data protection measures.

Kinship relations connect people living in the same territory. Most often these are close relatives: grandparents, uncles, aunts, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. But is there always enough words to determine the closeness of relationships between relatives? If a person lives in another country or wants to call a stranger a relative, they usually use the word "sib", short for "blood relative" in English. This could be a grandfather's brother or a father's brother. In some countries, such as Spain or Mexico, this word has an important meaning. In Russia, the word did not take root.
