AI Security

Cybersecurity

The practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks, unauthorised access, and data breaches.

Threat Intelligence

Evidence-based knowledge about existing or emerging threats to an organisation's digital assets and infrastructure.

Vulnerability Assessment

The process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritising security vulnerabilities in systems and applications.

Penetration Testing

A simulated cyberattack against a system to evaluate the security of its defences and identify exploitable vulnerabilities.

Red Team

A group of security professionals who simulate real-world attacks to test an organisation's defensive capabilities.

Blue Team

A group of security professionals who defend against both real attackers and simulated attacks from red teams.

Purple Team

A collaborative security approach combining red team attack knowledge with blue team defensive capabilities.

Intrusion Prevention System

A network security technology that examines network traffic to detect and prevent vulnerability exploits.

Ransomware

Malicious software that encrypts a victim's files and demands payment for the decryption key.

Malware

Malicious software designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to computer systems.

Phishing

A social engineering attack that uses fraudulent communications to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information.

Spear Phishing

A targeted phishing attack directed at specific individuals or organisations using personalised deceptive content.

Authentication methods such as FIDO2 passkeys and hardware security keys that are immune to phishing attacks because credentials are cryptographically bound to the legitimate service.

Security technology embedded within applications that detects and blocks attacks in real time by monitoring application behaviour and request patterns during execution.

Security solutions that deploy decoy assets such as fake servers, credentials, and data to detect, misdirect, and analyse attackers who have breached perimeter defences.

Automated tools that continuously assess cloud infrastructure configurations against security best practices and compliance requirements, identifying and remediating misconfigurations.

Technology that aggregates and analyses security data from across an organisation to detect threats.

A programming error where data written to a buffer exceeds its capacity, potentially allowing code execution.

An approach that integrates security considerations into every stage of the software development lifecycle.

The continuous discovery, inventory, classification, and monitoring of all external-facing digital assets to identify and reduce an organisation's exposure to cyber threats.

Prompt Injection

A security vulnerability where malicious inputs manipulate a language model into ignoring its instructions or producing unintended outputs.
