Logical Security/Controls: The security measures and controls that are implemented at the software and application level, as opposed to physical security measures. They are used to protect data and systems from unauthorized access, tampering, and other threats. Examples include encryption, access controls, and firewalls.

Logic Bomb: A type of malicious code that is designed to trigger a specific action when certain conditions are met. It is used to disrupt operations, steal data, or cause damage to a system. Examples include triggering a data deletion when a user logs off, activating a ransomware attack on a specific date, or sending confidential information to a remote server.

Log management: The process of collecting, storing, and analyzing logs generated by various devices and systems on a network to monitor activity, detect security threats, and troubleshoot issues. Examples include logs from firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and operating systems, with compliance to legal and regulatory requirements.

Log reviews: The process of regularly reviewing logs to identify potential security threats and anomalies. It is used to monitor network activity and identify trends and patterns that may indicate a security breach. Examples include reviewing firewall logs for suspicious traffic patterns and system logs for unauthorized access attempts.

Logs/Log File: A record of events happening in a system, whether that be a computer system, an application, or a network. Log files track and record user activities, system warnings, and error messages, which are essential for system debugging, performance monitoring, auditing, and incident response. These files are critical in the realm of security, as they provide an audit trail that can be analyzed for signs of malicious activity or intrusion attempts.

Loop Protection: A network configuration setting designed to prevent the creation of loops in data transmission pathways. In networking, loops can cause a variety of issues, including system instability, broadcast storms, and the overloading of network devices. Loop protection mechanisms, like the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), work by identifying and disabling potential looping paths, ensuring smooth and secure data flow across the network.
