Q

Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)

A

A protocol that defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, as well as the actions web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.

22
Q

Incident Response

A

A collection of information security rules and procedures implemented by an organization to detect, contain, and remove cyber attacks.

23
Q

Incident Detection

A

A task carried out by analysts to detect and collect data from IT systems, security technologies, and publicly available data as well as detect attack precursors and indicators.

24
Q

Internet protocol security (IPsec)

A

A protocol that secures Internet communication across an IP network by verifying the session and encrypting each data packet during the connection.

25
Q

Kerberos

A

A system that acts as a boundary between users and the network. It uses strong cryptography to allow clients to prove their ID to a server over an insecure network connection.

26
Q

Key Distribution Center (KDC)

A

An access control component responsible for issuing access tickets and session keys in response to user requests for resource access.

27
Q

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

A

A protocol that allows programs to access user information quickly. It’s a simple client-server protocol used to access directory services.

28
Q

Local Area Network

A

A collection of interconnected computers in a small area such as a building or an office.

29
Q

Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

A

A type of access control in which the ability to grant or deny access to resource objects in a file system is restricted by an OS.

30
Q

MD5

A

A type of hashing algorithm that encodes a string of information into a 128 bit fingerprint.

31
Q

Network DLP

A

A type of DLP that secures network data by monitoring and analyzing network traffic.

32
Q

Network based Firewall

A

A type of firewall that protects computer networks from attacks and restricts network traffic so that only authorized packets can access the organizations network, servers and assets.

33
Q

New technology LAN Manager (NTLM)

A

A challenge response authentication mechanism that allows clients to prove their ID without submitting a password to the server.

34
Q

Network based intrusion Detection system (NIDS)

A

A mechanism that monitors network traffic to detect threats. It examines al network packets content and headers.

35
Q

OpenVPN

A

A type of VPN that creates secure point to point or site to site connections and remote access. It runs client and server apps.

36
Q

Privacy

A

A condition in which no one can see a users actions but they may be able to determine who the user is.

37
Q

Psuedonymity

A

The id of a person by a name that isn’t their actual name.

38
Q

Remote access VPN

A

a type of VPN that allows remote users to securely access and use apps and data located in a remote network by encrypting all outgoing and incoming traffic.

39
Q

Role based access control (RBAC)

A

A method for restricting access to a resource based on a users position within the organization.

40
Q

Secure shell protocol (SSH)

A

A protocol that provides users a secure way to access a computer over an unsecured network.

41
Q

Secure sockets layer protocol (SLL)

A

A protocol responsible for protecting data sent between web browsers and servers. It encrypts the connection between the two parties to protect their data.

42
Q

SHA

A

Hashing algorithms that encrypt data and are considered very secure. The subtypes include SHA1 and SHA256. The greater the number following SHA the more recent and sophisticated the version.

43
Q

Single sign on(SSO)

A

Authentication that allows a user to authenticate and securely with multiple applications and websites using a single set of credentials.

44
Q

Site to site VPN

A

A type of VPN that relies on router to router communication, one router serves as the VPN client and the other is the VPN Server.

45
Q

Stateful firewall

A

A type of firewall capable of monitoring all aspects of network traffic, including communication channels and characteristics.

46
Q

Symmetric key cryptography

A

An encryption system where the sender and receiver of a message share a single key to both encrypt and decrypt the message.

47
Q

The 3 a’s

A

Stands for Access Control, authentication, and Authorization. An indispensable framework for network management and security.

48
Q

Ticket granting ticket

A

A user authentication token generated by the KDC that is used to request access to particular resources/systems without repeatedly entering credentials.

49
Q

Transport Layer Security Protocols (TLS)

A

An enhanced and more secure version of ssl. TLS offers end to end security for different data transmissions between applications and services.

50
Q

Web application Firewall

A

Protects web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet.

51
Q

Whitelisting

A

The practice of defining permitted access as opposed to blocking prohibited access.
