IPv6 at the edge: The use of the IPv6 protocol at the edge of a network, typically to connect devices to the internet or to connect two networks together. It is commonly used to allow for more devices to be connected to the internet and to allow for more efficient routing of data. Examples include using IPv6 at the edge to connect devices to the internet or to connect two networks together using IPv6.

Irregularity: In cybersecurity, an irregularity refers to any anomaly in system behavior or network traffic that deviates from the established baseline or expected patterns. Identifying irregularities is crucial for early detection of security incidents, as they may indicate a breach, system compromise, or impending attack.

ISAE (International Standard on Assurance Engagements): A set of standards for assurance services provided by independent auditors, aimed at ensuring the reliability and credibility of these engagements. Examples include ISAE 3402 for audits on service organization controls and ISAE 3000 for non-financial assurance engagements.

ISO 19770: A series of standards for IT asset management (ITAM) developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), providing a framework for implementing systematic ITAM processes to maintain an effective security posture by understanding, managing, and securing organizational assets.

ISO 27000: A family of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for managing information security. These standards provide a framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving an information security management system. This series promotes a risk management approach, allowing organizations to identify, analyze, and address their information security risks effectively.

ISO 27001: A part of the ISO 27000 family, ISO 27001 provides the specification for an information security management system (ISMS). It outlines a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It includes people, processes, and IT systems by applying a risk management process and giving due importance to information security risk treatment. Achieving ISO 27001 certification can help organizations demonstrate to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities that they have implemented best-practice information security processes.
