Server clustering

Server clustering: The practice of grouping multiple servers together to provide increased reliability, performance, and scalability of services. It is used in networking to improve the availability and resilience of applications and services. Examples include using load balancers, failover systems, and replication in server clusters.

Security Kernel

Security Kernel: The core component of a secure operating system that enforces the security policy for the entire system. It provides mechanisms such as authentication and access control and is designed to be tamper-proof and resilient to attacks, isolating critical security functions from the rest of the system.

Server hardening guidelines

Server hardening guidelines: The guidelines and best practices for securing a server and protecting it against potential vulnerabilities and attacks. They are used in the configuration and maintenance of servers in a network. Examples of server hardening guidelines include disabling unnecessary services, implementing firewalls and intrusion detection systems, and regularly updating software and patches.

Security label

Security label: An information tag associated with a resource or data object that defines its security status, including the level of sensitivity and the access privileges required to interact with it. Security labels are crucial elements in Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems, where access decisions are made based on these labels and the security clearances […]

Server

Server: A computer or device that provides services, resources, or data to other computers or devices on a network. It is used in networking to host applications, websites, databases, and other services. Examples include web servers, database servers, and file servers.

Security models

Security models: Conceptual frameworks that outline the structures and processes needed to enforce security policies within an organization’s IT environment. Security models help guide the design and implementation of system security by establishing clear rules and protocols for data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
