Threat intelligence
Threat intelligence: Knowledge that allows organizations to understand the risks of cyber threats, such as adversaries, campaigns, incidents, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). This intelligence can be used to prepare, prevent, and identify potential cyber threats looking to take advantage of valuable resources.
Test coverage analysis
Test coverage analysis: The method used to evaluate the extent to which a system or software application has been tested. It helps to identify gaps in testing, areas that have not been tested, or areas where testing may be too dense. From a security perspective, ensuring adequate test coverage is crucial to uncovering and fixing […]
Threat modeling
Threat modeling: The process of identifying, understanding, and addressing potential threats in a prioritized way. It involves creating a conceptual model of the system or application, including data flow and connectivity, and then identifying assets, threats, and vulnerabilities within this model. The purpose is to mitigate possible security risks during the design phase of a […]
Test data
Test data: Test data should mimic the characteristics of production data to validate system behavior accurately. However, it must be anonymized or de-identified to protect sensitive information and comply with data privacy standards, ensuring the data’s integrity without compromising security.
Threat monitoring
Threat monitoring: The continual process of observing and tracking activities within a system or network to detect signs of cyber threats or breaches. This often involves the use of automated systems, such as intrusion detection systems (IDS) or security information and event management (SIEM) systems, which can detect anomalies or suspicious behavior and send alerts […]
Test types
Test types: The various approaches used in software testing to validate functionality, performance, security, and compatibility of applications or systems. Test types include unit, integration, system, acceptance, and security testing, each addressing specific aspects of software quality.
