{tableName=glossary, name=Malware Vs. Viruses Vs. Worm, description=s Malware: Malware is a type of software designed to harm or exploit computer systems without the user’s knowledge or consent. It can be used to gain access to sensitive information, steal data, or cause damage to a computer system or network. Common types of malware include viruses, worms, spyware, adware, ransomware, and Trojans. Viruses: A virus is a type of malware that infects computer systems or networks by replicating itself without the user’s knowledge or consent. It can spread from one computer to another, often via email or malicious websites. Once a virus is installed on a computer, it can cause damage by deleting files, corrupting data, or stealing information. Worms: A worm is a type of malware that replicates itself across computer networks without the user’s knowledge or consent. Unlike a virus, a worm does not require a host program to spread. It can spread from one computer to another, often via email or malicious websites. Worms can be used to steal data, spread malicious code, or cause damage to a computer system or network., topic=null, hs_path=malware-vs.-viruses-vs.-worm}--

{tableName=glossary, name=ISO/IEC 27001 Penetration Testing, description= ISO/IEC 27001 Penetration Testing is a type of security testing that is used to evaluate the security of an organization’s information systems and networks. It is designed to identify, analyze, and report on any vulnerabilities that may exist in an organization’s security infrastructure. The goal of penetration testing is to find, exploit, and help correct any weaknesses in the system before they can be exploited by malicious actors. During a penetration test, an ethical hacker attempts to gain access to an organization’s systems and networks, either by exploiting known vulnerabilities or by using social engineering tactics. The tester then documents and reports on the findings, including any potential risks and recommended countermeasures. The results of the penetration test are then used to develop a comprehensive security plan that can help protect the organization’s systems and data., topic=[{id=97620570500, createdAt=1673040885276, updatedAt=1716010651854, path='iso-27001', name=' ISO 27001 Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=ISO 27001}', 2='{type=string, value=This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the ISO 27001 standard, including the requirements, implementation, and certification.

{tableName=glossary, name=Network Segmentation, description= Network segmentation is the process of dividing a computer network into smaller segments or sub-networks in order to improve network performance, reduce network congestion, and increase security. Network segmentation involves the use of various technologies such as routers, switches, firewalls, and virtual LANs (VLANs) to create multiple sub-networks within the larger network. This allows for the creation of separate, isolated networks that can be used for specific tasks or applications, while still allowing the larger network to remain connected. By segmenting a network, it is possible to control access to resources, provide enhanced security, and improve overall network performance. Additionally, segmentation can help to reduce the risk of malicious attacks, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, by isolating the vulnerable parts of the network. Network segmentation can also be used to provide better quality of service (QoS) for certain applications or services, such as VoIP or video streaming, by reserving a portion of the network for their exclusive use., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1715624422147, path='vulnerability-management', name='Vulnerability Management 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=ISO/IEC Accreditation, description= ISO/IEC accreditation is an internationally recognized standard for the evaluation of organizations that provide certification services. It is a process of assessing the competence of an organization to provide certification services, including the processes and procedures used to ensure that certification is conducted in accordance with the relevant international standards. In order to be accredited, an organization must demonstrate that it has the necessary technical and organizational infrastructure, personnel, and resources to perform certification activities in accordance with the requirements of the relevant international standards.
