Penetration Testing

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.

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.

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

Security solutions focused on detecting and responding to identity-based attacks such as credential theft, privilege escalation, and compromised service accounts.

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

An integrated security platform that protects cloud-native applications across the full lifecycle, combining workload protection, configuration management, and runtime security.

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

Automated security testing that continuously simulates real-world attack scenarios against production environments to validate defensive controls and identify security gaps.

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

A decoy system designed to attract attackers and study their methods while protecting real systems.
