Cybersecurity

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.

Zero-Day Vulnerability

A software security flaw unknown to the vendor that can be exploited before a patch is available.

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.

Technology that automates security operations by orchestrating tools and processes for incident response.

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

The discipline of protecting AI systems from adversarial attacks, data poisoning, model theft, and prompt injection while ensuring the secure deployment of AI in production environments.

A comprehensive inventory of all software components, libraries, and dependencies used in an application, enabling vulnerability tracking and supply chain risk management.

An authentication method requiring two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource.

A technology stack that integrates security tools and automates incident response workflows, enabling faster triage, investigation, and remediation of security alerts.

Security solutions that control and monitor access for users with elevated permissions to critical systems.
