I'm studying for the CISSP exam and trying to wrap my mind around the term "declassification". Can someone provide a practical example?
I get that declassification is necessary once "an asset no longer warrants or needs the protection of its currently assigned classification or sensitivity level" but I'm still struggling to think of an example here.
If I "downgrade" or "upgrade" an asset to a different classification level, would that be considered "declassification"? The "de" part of it makes me think that we're completely removing the classification label all together instead of changing it.
