"What Is?" Cybersecurity Library

Container security protects containerised apps and infrastructure by enforcing measures against threats across the software supply chain and runtime environment

XDR is cross-layered detection and response. XDR collects and automatically correlates data across multiple security layers – email, endpoint, server, cloud workloads, and network – so threats can be detected faster and security analysts can improve investigation and response times.

Cloud security encompasses a broad set of techniques and tactics that secure information and processes from prying eyes and systems.

Zerologon uses a cryptography weakness to pretend it's something or someone it's not. Get the details of the history and how to prevent yourself from being its next victim.

The art of stealing user or corporate information through well-crafted emails that rely on social engineering techniques. The more masterful the attack, the less the user will realize they have been duped.

Learn all about this prevalent and pervasive form of malware. Hackers hold the key to decrypting files for a fee, holding the user’s data and system control for ransom.

The protection of all computing resources from availability, confidentiality, and integrity attacks and failures.

A form of artificial intelligence (AI) that makes it possible for a system to learn from data iteratively by using various algorithms to describe it and predict outcomes by learning from training data that produces precise models.

An architectural approach and goal for network security that assumes that every transaction, entity, and identity is untrusted until trust is established and maintained over time.

Learn about how the Log4j vulnerability started, how it's evolving and what you can do to be secure against the vulnerability

Cybersecurity platforms integrate security visibility, analysis, and controls across multiple security layers and data sources while enhancing protection, scalability, and performance.

Cyber insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides coverage for businesses to shield them from losses as a result of data breaches, cyber attcks, and other liabilities.

Cloud-native technologies allow organizations to build and run scalable applications in public, private, and hybrid clouds. Examples include containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs.

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) is a function or solution that automates cyber attack incident response and security operations. Based on rules predefined by the vendor or playbooks defined by the user, SOAR automatically handles work processes when certain conditions are met, reducing the workload of operators.

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a solution for cyber security monitoring, detection, and investigation, SIEM collects, manages, and analyzes event logs generated by networks and systems, contributing to early detection of security incidents and prompt response.

Learn more about penetration testing and how ethical hackers create attacks to discover new security vulnerabilities through pen tests.

AI is a set of algorithms and architectures capable of tasks like learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding.

Data loss prevention (DLP) is a security solution designed to detect and prevent data breaches ensuring that data remains secure within the organization.

Learn more with Trend Micro about what doxing is, how to protect yourself against it, the information that the doxers are looking for and the legal implications of doxing

Malware, or malicious software, includes viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, and spyware, designed to harm systems, steal data, or disrupt networks.
