{tableName=glossary, name=Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), description= An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a type of security software that monitors a network or system for malicious activity or policy violations. It gathers and analyzes information from various areas within a network or system to identify possible security breaches, which include both intrusions (attempts to compromise security) and misuse (violations of policy). The ultimate goal of an IDS is to detect, alert, and respond to any suspicious activity or policy violations. IDSs can be either signature-based or anomaly-based. Signature-based IDSs detect known malicious activities, such as a specific type of attack, by comparing the information gathered to a database of known attack signatures. Anomaly-based IDSs, on the other hand, detect suspicious activities by comparing the information gathered to a baseline of normal behavior. IDSs are typically deployed on networks, servers, and endpoints to monitor for malicious activity. They can also be used to detect and respond to insider threats and data exfiltration. IDSs can be used in conjunction with other security tools, such as firewalls, to provide a comprehensive security solution., topic=[{id=97620570528, createdAt=1673040885452, updatedAt=1715624222504, 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=DOS Attack, description= A DOS attack (denial of service attack) is a malicious attempt to make a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users. It typically involves flooding the target machine or network with useless requests in an attempt to overload the system and prevent legitimate requests from being processed. The goal of a DOS attack is to disrupt the normal functioning of a system, usually by temporarily or indefinitely disabling the service or resource. The most common type of DOS attack is the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which is launched from multiple compromised systems. Other types of DOS attacks include ping flood, SYN flood, and teardrop attack. All DOS attacks are illegal and punishable by law., topic=null, hs_path=dos-attack}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Risk Management Framework, description= Risk Management Framework is a set of processes, policies, and tools used to identify, assess, monitor, and control risks associated with an organization’s activities. It is designed to help organizations manage the risks associated with their operations in order to minimize their potential impact on the organization's objectives. The framework typically includes the following components: risk identification, risk assessment, risk control, risk monitoring, and risk communication. Risk identification involves identifying potential risks and assigning them to specific categories. Risk assessment involves evaluating the probability and potential impact of the identified risks. Risk control involves implementing strategies to mitigate the identified risks. Risk monitoring involves tracking the progress of risk management activities. Risk communication involves informing stakeholders of the status of risk management activities. The Risk Management Framework is an integral part of an organization's overall risk management strategy and is necessary to ensure the organization is prepared to handle the risks associated with its operations., topic=[{id=97620570509, createdAt=1673040885334, updatedAt=1715624292575, path='enterprise-risk-management', name=' Enterprise Risk Management Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=Enterprise Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides an overview of Enterprise Risk Management and its processes, enabling you to develop a risk management strategy and plan for your organization.
