{tableName=glossary, name=Vulnerability Scanning, description= Vulnerability scanning is a process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing (ranking) the vulnerabilities in a computer system, network, or application. It is an automated process that uses software to scan a system for known weaknesses and security issues. Vulnerability scanning can help organizations identify and address potential security risks before an attacker has the opportunity to exploit them. It is a critical step in the overall security process, as it allows organizations to understand the attack surface of their system, identify potential vulnerabilities, and prioritize their efforts to address them. Vulnerability scanning can also be used to detect unauthorized changes to a system, detect malicious activity, and monitor compliance with security policies. It is an important part of any security program and is often used in conjunction with other security measures, such as penetration testing and risk assessment., 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=Access Control, description= Access control is the process of granting or denying specific requests to obtain information or resources from a particular system. It is a security measure designed to limit access to a system, service, or resource to only those authorized users, processes, or other systems that have been granted permission to access it. Access control systems are used to protect data, networks, and other resources from unauthorized access. Access control is a critical component of security and is used to protect confidential information, prevent unauthorized access to systems, and protect against malicious activities. Access control can be implemented in a variety of ways, including physical security, logical security, and biometric security. Physical security measures involve the use of locks, fences, and other physical barriers to prevent unauthorized access. Logical security measures involve the use of passwords, encryption, and other digital security measures to protect data and resources from unauthorized access. Biometric security measures involve the use of biometric data such as fingerprints, voice recognition, and facial recognition to verify the identity of a user before granting access., 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.
