A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) flat-file, nonrelational database that describes devices being monitored. Network management platforms monitor nodes by reading the value of the managed resources in the MIB. Management platforms can effect changes in managed resources by altering MIB values — for example, by establishing thresholds beyond which alerts are created. See SNMP.

Medical Information Bureau. An association of over 500 U.S. and Canadian life insurance companies providing information and database management services to the financial services industry. Organized in 1902, MIB's core fraud protection services protect insurers, policyholders and applicants from attempts to conceal or omit information material to the sound and equitable underwriting of life, health, disability, and long term care insurance. Fair pricing of insurance products is largely dependent on accurate "risk assessment", "risk classification", and "risk selection". A determination of these factors begins with the assurance of accurate health information supplied on the insurance application concerning the proposed insured. Visit MIB on the Web...

Medical Information Bureau. An organization that serves as a clearinghouse for medical information for the life insurance industry. When a person applies for life insurance, the insurance company sends the applicant's medical test results and any indication of health impairments to the MIB. This information is then available to other insurers when they are investigating an applicant's insurability. Access to MIB-coded information is restricted to authorized medical, underwriting, and claim personnel in member companies. No member company can request information from the MIB unless the individual being investigated gives written consent. An insurance company cannot base its underwriting decision solely on information provided by the MIB.

Medical Information Bureau. A service utilized by all life insurance companies who are members of the MIB. Member companies are required to provide brief, coded reports of significant underwriting information to the MIB on a confidential basis. These reports do not include indication whether or not an application is issued, rated or declined. The information is used to protect against the omission of significant underwriting information by applicants. Only member companies have access to this information.

Management Information Base. An MIB describes a set of managed objects. An SNMP management console application can manipulate the objects on a specfic computer if the SNMP service has an extension agent DLL that supports the MIB. Each managed object in a MIB has a unique identifier. The identifier includes the object's type (such as counter, string, gauge or address), the object's access level (such as read, or read/write), size restrictions and range information.

Medical Information Bureau. The MIB is a non-profit association of life insurance companies. Its purpose is to detect and deter fraud by providing warnings – called alerts – to member companies. For example, if an insurance applicant advised one insurance company of a heart attack and then applied to another insurance company omitting this history, codes reported by the first insurance company indicating a heart attack would alert the second insurance company to the undisclosed history.
