Correlation
Correlation: The relationship between two or more variables, such as the relationship between a security incident and a potential vulnerability. It is used in security analysis to identify patterns and connections between different data sets. Examples include using correlation to link network traffic to a specific user or to identify a trend in phishing attacks.
Counter (CTR) Mode
Counter (CTR) Mode: An encryption mode that transforms a block cipher into a stream cipher. It operates by encrypting successive values of a “counter” and then XORing the output with the plaintext to produce the ciphertext. The counter value is incremented for each subsequent block, ensuring a unique sequence for each encryption. This mode allows […]
Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP)
Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP): A security protocol used in wireless networks to encrypt data and ensure its authenticity. It is a combination of the AES encryption algorithm and the CCM mode of operation, which provides both confidentiality and integrity for data transmitted over a wireless network.
Configurable control
Configurable control: A feature or setting within a system or application that can be adjusted to enhance control over the operating environment. This can include anything from user permissions to data access controls, all aimed at managing risk and safeguarding the system or data within it.
Content-based access control (CBAC)
Content-based access control (CBAC): A security approach where access to information is granted or denied based on the content within the data objects rather than solely based on user credentials or roles. This method is useful for managing access to classified or sensitive information, ensuring that only content that a user is authorized to view […]
Configuration control
Configuration control: A practice aimed at maintaining consistency of a system or component’s performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. It involves processes such as identifying configurations, controlling changes, and ensuring that configurations conform to applicable standards and requirements, thus helping avoid unnecessary modifications and maintaining system […]
