Ch. 13 - Vocab Flashcards
actuator
Receives an electronic signal from a controller and responds by interacting with its environment to produce an effect
backbone network
also called the core network, connects geographically dispersed fog networks
cloud auditor
a party that can conduct independent assessment of cloud services
cloud broker
an entity that manages the use, performance and delivery of cloud services
cloud carrier
An intermediary that provides connectivity and transport of cloud services from CSPs to cloud consumers.
cloud computing
A model for enabling ubiquitous, conveninet, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort
cloud service consumer
a person or organization that uses services from cloud providers
cloud service provider
a person, organization, or entity responsible for making a service available
community cloud
a community cloud has restricted access, but the cloud resources are shared among a number of independent organizations.
data loss prevention
is the monitoring, protecting, and verifying the security of data at rest, in motion, and in use
edge network
a network of IoT-enabled devices, consisting of sensors and actuators
fog network
provides data processing as close to the sensors as possible, transforming it to a form that is suitable for storage and higher level processing
hybrid cloud
a composition of two or more clouds that remain unique entities but are bound together by some technology
identity and access management
assuring that the identity of an entity is verified, then granting the correct level of access based on this identity
infrastructure as a service
user does not manage or control the resources of the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems
internet of things
interconnection of smart devices, which delivers sensor information, act on their environment, and coordinate themselves as part of a larger system
intrusion management
`implementation of intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems at entry points to the cloud
microcontroller
the brains in a smart device
MiniSec
an open-source security module that is part of the TinyOS operating system, an operating system designed for small embedded systems
multi-instance model
provides a unique database management system running on a VM instance for each cloud subscriber
multi-tenant model
provides a predefined environment for the cloud subscriber that is shared with other tenants
OpenStack
an open source cloud operating systems which creates and manages huge groups of virtual private servers in a cloud computing environment
patching vulnerability
there are few means of patching IoT devices, since manufacturers do very little to the chip’s software and firmware.
platform as a service
is a operating system in the cloud, useful in developing applications
