Security Vulnerability
A vulnerability is a weakness that attackers can use to access a computer system without authorization. A cyberattack can install malware, execute harmful code, and even steal private information after taking advantage of a vulnerability.
The Importance of AI Powered Cyber...
AI-powered cybersecurity tools are security systems that use automation, machine learning, and behavioral analytics to identify, rank, and address vulnerabilities at every stage of the software development lifecycle.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
A person’s personal informations that might be used to identify or steal that person is considered personally identifiable information (PII).
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
A system called zero touch provisioning (ZTP) eliminates the need for human intervention by automating the setup and configuration of new devices. By sending configuration files straight to the device at first startup, it enables the uniform, simultaneous, and automated configuration of network devices.
Network Security
Protecting computer networks and communication systems from both internal and external cyber threats and cyberattacks is the main goal of network security, a field of cybersecurity.
SIM Swapping Attack
SIM swapping is a type of cyberattack in which perpetrators deceive victims into transferring their phone number to a SIM card under their control so they can intercept security codes, calls, and texts.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
A security system called security information and event management (SIEM) helps businesses and organisations in detecting and fixing any security risks and vulnerabilities before they have an opportunity to interfere with business operations.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
An Internet security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts data to guarantee secure network communication between devices.
Sandboxing
Sandboxing is a technique where users set up a “sandbox,” or isolated test environment, to run or “detonate” a suspicious file or URL that is attached to an email or otherwise accesses users network, and then watch what occurs.
SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response)
Security teams may connect and coordinate separate security solutions, automate tedious processes, and optimize incident and threat response workflows with the help of SOAR, which stands for security orchestration, automation, and response.
