Security awareness
Security awareness: The understanding and knowledge of security practices and measures. It is used in the workplace to educate employees on how to protect sensitive information and prevent security breaches. Examples include training sessions on password protection, avoiding phishing scams, and proper disposal of confidential documents.
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR): A framework for integrating and automating security tools and processes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations. Used in the management of security operations and incident response. Examples include SOAR platforms and security automation scripts.
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 baseline
Security baseline: A set of minimum security standards and requirements that must be met by an organization or system. It is used as a benchmark to assess the current level of security and identify areas for improvement. Examples of a security baseline include required password strength and expiration, minimum encryption standards, and regular security audits.
Security perimeter
Security perimeter: A boundary that defines the physical or logical limits within which an organization’s security controls are enforced. The security perimeter helps protect against external threats by incorporating mechanisms such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and access control lists to prevent unauthorized access.
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.
