Term 523
Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice where analysts actively search networks, endpoints, and logs for hidden threats that have evaded automated security tools.
Term 524
Threat intelligence is evidence-based knowledge about existing or emerging cyber threats that helps organizations defend against attacks.
Term 525
Threat modelling is a structured approach to identifying, evaluating, and documenting potential security threats to a system so that defenses can be built proactively.
Term 526
Threat protection is the set of security measures and technologies used to detect, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks and unauthorized access to systems and data.
Term 527
A threat vector is the path or method a cyber attacker uses to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or network.
Term 528
A traffic manager is a networking device or service that directs incoming data traffic across multiple servers or links to balance load, improve performance, and ensure availability.
Term 529
A Transit Gateway is a network hub that connects multiple virtual private clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a single, central gateway to simplify routing and reduce complexity.
Term 530
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a communication protocol that sends data quickly without first checking if the receiver is ready or if the data arrived correctly.
Term 531
UDR is a user-defined routing rule that controls how network traffic moves between subnets or to external destinations in a cloud or on-premises environment.
Term 532
An update domain is a logical grouping of resources in a cloud or datacenter environment that can be patched or updated together without causing downtime to the entire application.
Term 533
