Common Weakness Scoring System (CWSS)
Common Weakness Scoring System (CWSS): A framework for scoring the severity of software weaknesses listed in CWE based on various factors, including the potential impact of the weakness and the context of the software environment. It helps organizations prioritize software weaknesses to address the most significant risks first.
Community Cloud
Community Cloud: A shared cloud computing environment where resources are accessible by a specific group of organizations or individuals with shared concerns or objectives. This setup allows for a higher level of privacy, security, or policy compliance than a public cloud while also offering cost savings and resource-sharing advantages of the cloud technology.

When the user attempts to run the original program, the virus program executes instead, often running the original program afterward […]
Compiler
Compiler: A computer program that translates source code written in a high-level programming language into machine code that can be executed by a computer. It is commonly used in software development to create efficient and optimized programs. Examples include GCC and Microsoft Visual C++.
Cloud Service Models
Cloud Service Models: They encompass the different layers of cloud computing that offer varying degrees of control from infrastructure to applications. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet, such as servers and storage. Platform as a Service (PaaS) supplies a cloud-based environment for developers to create, manage, and deploy applications […]
Cognitive Passwords
Cognitive Passwords: These are security questions used to authenticate a user’s identity based on personal knowledge. They can be less secure than other forms of authentication due to the possibility of answers being easily guessed or researched. It’s important to select questions with answers that are not publicly available to increase security.
