{tableName=glossary, name=Threat Modeling Frameworks And Methodologies, description= Threat Modeling Frameworks and Methodologies are a set of concepts, processes, and techniques used to identify, analyze, and respond to potential threats to an organization’s information systems. These frameworks and methodologies are designed to help organizations better understand their security posture and identify areas of vulnerability. The goal of threat modeling is to provide an organized approach to understanding the threats that an organization faces and to provide a framework for taking appropriate actions to reduce or eliminate those threats. A threat model typically includes a threat assessment, risk analysis, and a strategy for mitigating any identified threats. The assessment typically includes identifying the assets that need to be protected, the threats posed to those assets, the likelihood of those threats, and the potential impact of those threats. Risk analysis includes understanding the potential risks associated with each threat, the potential cost of those risks, and the potential mitigation strategies available. Finally, the strategy for mitigating threats includes a plan for deploying countermeasures and monitoring the effectiveness of those countermeasures., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1683947931775, path='vulnerability-management', name=' Vuln Mgmt Guide: Learn to Protect Your Business', 1='{type=string, value=Vulnerability Management}', 2='{type=string, value= Learn how to identify, assess, and manage security vulnerabilities in your organization with this comprehensive guide to Vulnerability Management.

{tableName=glossary, name=GDPR Compliance, description= GDPR Compliance is the process of adhering to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which was passed on May 25, 2018. This regulation is designed to protect the privacy of EU citizens, by requiring organizations to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. GDPR Compliance requires organizations to be transparent in how they collect, use, store, and transfer personal data, as well as how they respond to data breaches. Organizations must also provide individuals with the right to access, rectify, and delete their personal data. Additionally, organizations must obtain explicit consent from individuals before processing their personal data, and must notify individuals of any data breaches within 72 hours. GDPR Compliance also requires organizations to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, such as encryption and pseudonymization. By adhering to GDPR regulations, organizations can ensure that they are protecting the privacy of EU citizens and complying with the law., topic=null, hs_path=gdpr-compliance}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Cryptography, description= Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties. It is used to protect confidential information and to ensure its authenticity and integrity. Cryptography involves the use of mathematical algorithms, protocols, and techniques to protect data from unauthorized access, modification, and disclosure. It is also used to protect data from being read or intercepted by an unintended recipient. Cryptography includes both symmetric and asymmetric encryption, digital signatures, and public-key infrastructure. Cryptography is used to protect data in transit, at rest, and in storage. It is also used to protect data from being tampered with or manipulated. Cryptography is used in various applications, such as banking, military, and government communications, to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of information., topic=null, hs_path=cryptography}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Security Incident, description= A security incident is any event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an information system or the data it contains. This includes malicious attacks, accidental data breaches, system failures, or any other event that could lead to a data breach or system malfunction. Security incidents can range from minor to major, depending on the severity of the attack or breach. Common security incidents include phishing attacks, malware infections, ransomware attacks, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access to systems or data. Security incidents can have serious consequences, such as financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liability. Therefore, it is important for businesses to have a comprehensive security strategy in place to protect their systems and data from these threats., topic=[{id=97620570528, createdAt=1673040885452, updatedAt=1683947994134, path='cybersecurity-risk-management', name=' Cybersecurity Risk Management: A Guide for Businesses', 1='{type=string, value=Cybersecurity Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides essential information on cyber security risk management, including how to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to your organization's data and systems.

{tableName=glossary, name=Gartner And The Magic Quadrant, description= Gartner And The Magic Quadrant is an analytical tool used by businesses and organizations to evaluate the competitive landscape of a particular industry or market. The tool, developed by Gartner, a research and advisory firm, is designed to help organizations identify the most competitive vendors and products in their respective markets. The tool is based on a four-quadrant model that evaluates vendors and products on two axes: their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. The ability to execute axis is based on the vendor’s product or service, its overall market share, the quality of its customer service, and its financial stability. The completeness of vision axis is based on the vendor’s understanding of the market, its innovation and its ability to meet customer needs. Vendors and products are then plotted on the Magic Quadrant based on their scores in both categories. The Magic Quadrant can help organizations identify the most promising vendors and products in their respective markets, enabling them to make informed decisions about which vendors and products to invest in., topic=null, hs_path=gartner-and-the-magic-quadrant}--
