Term 2
Access control is the security practice of determining who or what is allowed to view, use, or enter a resource, and under what conditions.
Term 3
An access key is a unique identifier and secret code pair used to authenticate requests to cloud storage services, ensuring only authorized users or applications can access data.
Term 4
An access port is a switch port that connects to a single end device, like a computer or printer, and carries traffic for only one VLAN.
Term 5
An access review is a periodic audit process where administrators check and confirm which users have permissions to what resources, ensuring only authorized people retain access.
Term 6
A digital key that a computer system gives you to prove your identity and grant you permission to access specific resources or perform actions.
Term 7
An Access Control List is a set of rules that determines who or what can access specific network resources or data.
Term 8
An Action group is a collection of notification and automation settings that defines how an Azure Monitor alert responds when triggered, such as who gets emailed, which phone numbers get called, or which automated tasks run.
Term 9
An activity log is a record of all operations performed on Azure resources, capturing who did what, when, and where, for auditing and troubleshooting purposes.
Term 10
An Administrative unit is a container in Microsoft Entra ID that allows you to delegate administrative permissions over a subset of users, groups, or devices, rather than the entire directory.
Term 11
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed container orchestration service on Microsoft Azure that simplifies deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications using Kubernetes.
Term 12
An alert rule is a set of conditions and actions that trigger a notification when a monitored metric or log reaches a predefined threshold.
Term 13
An alerting policy is a set of rules that defines when to send notifications about a system condition that needs attention.
Term 14
Anti-malware is software that detects, prevents, and removes malicious software from computers, networks, and devices.
Term 15
An anti-malware policy is a set of rules and procedures that an organization enforces to prevent, detect, and remove malicious software from its computers and networks.
Term 16
An anti-phishing policy is a set of rules and technical controls that organizations use to detect, block, and respond to email or message-based attacks that trick users into revealing sensitive information.
Term 17
An anti-spam policy is a set of rules and filters used by email systems to automatically detect and block unwanted, unsolicited, or harmful messages before they reach a user's inbox.
Term 18
API security is the practice of protecting application programming interfaces from attacks by ensuring only authorized users and applications can access data and functions.
Term 19
An app protection policy is a set of rules that controls how data is handled and secured within mobile applications, ensuring corporate information stays safe even on personal devices.
Term 20
An App Service plan is a set of compute resources that defines the infrastructure, pricing tier, and scaling capabilities for one or more Azure App Service applications.
Term 21
An Application Gateway is a network device or cloud service that manages and secures traffic between users and web applications by applying rules, routing requests, and offloading tasks like SSL encryption.
Term 22
Application Insights is an Azure monitoring service that helps developers detect, diagnose, and understand issues in live web applications by collecting telemetry data like requests, exceptions, and performance counters.
Term 23
An Application Security Group (ASG) is a cloud networking feature that groups virtual machines logically and allows you to apply security rules based on the application workload, rather than individual IP addresses.
Term 24
Archive tier is an ultra-low-cost Azure Blob Storage access tier designed for long-term retention of data that is rarely accessed and can tolerate hours of retrieval latency.
Term 25
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network protocol used to map a device's IP address to its physical MAC address so data can be delivered correctly on a local network.
Term 26
ARP poisoning is a network attack where an attacker sends fake Address Resolution Protocol messages to link their MAC address with a legitimate IP address, enabling them to intercept, modify, or stop data on a local network.
Term 27
An ARP reply is a network response sent by a device to answer an ARP request, providing its MAC address so the requesting device can map an IP address to a physical hardware address on a local network.
Term 28
An ARP request is a network broadcast message sent by a device to discover the hardware (MAC) address of another device on the same local network given its IP address.
Term 29
An ARP table is a data structure stored on a network device that maps IP addresses to their corresponding MAC addresses, enabling communication within a local network.
Term 30
An Availability Set is a logical grouping of virtual machines in Azure that helps ensure high availability by distributing VMs across different physical hardware within a datacenter.
