A Google Cloud region is a specific geographic location where you can deploy and run cloud resources, consisting of at least three zones to provide high availability and low latency.
Term 246
A Google Cloud zone is a deployable location within a region where you can place your cloud resources like virtual machines and storage.
Term 247
A group is a collection of users, devices, or other objects that are assigned permissions and policies together for simplified management in identity and governance systems like Microsoft Entra ID.
Term 248
Group Policy is a Windows-based feature that allows administrators to centrally manage and enforce settings for users and computers across an organization.
Term 249
GRS (Georedundant Storage) is a data replication method that copies your stored data to a secondary region hundreds of miles away to protect against regional disasters.

Guest access allows a user to temporarily connect to a network, application, or shared resource with limited permissions, without being a permanent member of the organization.
Term 251
A guest user is a temporary or limited-access account that allows someone to use a system, network, or application without full user privileges and often without a permanent identity.

A specialized hardware appliance that securely generates, stores, and manages cryptographic keys in a tamper-resistant environment for enterprise security systems.
Term 253
Hashing is a one-way mathematical function that converts any input data into a fixed-length string of characters, called a hash or digest, which is used to verify data integrity and store passwords securely.
Term 254
High availability is a system design approach that aims to keep applications and services operational and accessible with minimal downtime, even when some components fail.
Term 255
A host firewall is a software-based security tool that runs directly on an individual device, such as a laptop, server, or desktop, to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on a set of security rules.
Term 256
Hot tier is a storage category used for data that is accessed frequently and needs fast retrieval, typically stored on high-performance hardware like SSDs.
Term 257
Hybrid Azure AD join is a Microsoft identity configuration that registers on-premises domain-joined devices with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to enable single sign-on and access to both on-premises and cloud resources.
Term 258
A hybrid cloud is a computing environment that combines a private cloud (on-premises infrastructure) with one or more public cloud services, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.
Term 259
A hypervisor is software that creates and runs virtual machines by allowing multiple operating systems to share a single hardware host.
Term 260
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework of policies and technologies that ensures the right individuals have the appropriate access to technology resources.
Term 261
An IAM group is a collection of IAM users in a cloud or identity system that simplifies permission management by allowing you to assign policies to multiple users at once.
Term 262
An IAM misconfiguration occurs when identity and access management settings are incorrectly set, granting too many or too few permissions to users or services, which can lead to security breaches or operational failures.
Term 263
An IAM policy is a set of rules that determines who can access specific cloud resources and what actions they are allowed to perform.
Term 264
An IAM role is a set of permissions that an entity can assume temporarily to access cloud resources securely.
Term 265
An IAM user is an identity created in AWS Identity and Access Management that represents a person or service interacting with AWS resources, with its own credentials and permissions.
Term 266
Identity and access management (IAM) is the security discipline that ensures the right individuals access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons.
Term 267
A security model where trust is determined by user identity and context rather than the network location, treating identity itself as the primary boundary for access control.
Term 268
An inbound ACL is a set of rules applied to network traffic entering an interface that decides whether to allow or block that traffic based on criteria like source IP, destination port, or protocol.
Term 269
An incident is a security event that violates an organization's policies or threatens its data, systems, or operations, requiring a structured response.
Term 270
Incident classification is the process of categorizing security incidents based on type, severity, and impact to ensure appropriate response and resource allocation.
