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
