Information security management is the systematic process of developing, implementing, monitoring, and improving policies, procedures, and controls to protect an organization's information assets from threats and ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Term 243
Inherent risk is the level of risk that exists in a process or system before any security controls or mitigations are applied.
Term 244
Insider Risk Management is the practice of identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats that originate from within an organization, such as employees, contractors, or partners who have legitimate access to systems and data.
Term 245
Integrity is the assurance that data has not been altered or tampered with in an unauthorized way, preserving its accuracy and consistency from source to destination.
Term 246
Inter-VLAN routing is the process of forwarding network traffic between different VLANs to enable communication across logically separated broadcast domains.
Term 247
An Internet gateway is a cloud networking component that provides a connection between a virtual private cloud (VPC) and the public Internet, enabling resources in the VPC to send and receive traffic to and from the Internet.
Term 248
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol used to set up a secure, encrypted connection between two devices by automatically negotiating and exchanging encryption keys over an untrusted network like the internet.
Term 249
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices, vehicles, appliances, and other objects embedded with sensors and software that connect to the internet to collect and exchange data.
Term 250
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a suite of protocols that encrypts and authenticates data packets sent over IP networks to ensure private and secure communication.
Term 251
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security tool that monitors network traffic or system activities for malicious actions or policy violations and sends alerts to administrators.
Term 252
An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security tool that monitors network traffic and actively blocks threats like malware and cyberattacks in real time.
Term 253
IoT (Internet of Things) is a network of physical devices embedded with sensors and software to connect and exchange data over the internet.
Term 254
An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
Term 255
An IP conflict occurs when two devices on the same network attempt to use the same IP address, causing communication disruptions.
Term 256
A Cisco IOS command that forwards broadcast traffic from one subnet to a specific server on another subnet, allowing devices to obtain IP configuration or other services without needing a router or server on their local network.
Term 257
IP Source Guard is a network security feature that blocks IP address spoofing by verifying that each packet's source IP address matches an authorized binding assigned to that switch port.
Term 258
An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security device that monitors traffic in real time and automatically blocks threats before they reach your systems.
Term 259
IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, a set of rules that assigns unique numerical addresses to devices so they can communicate over networks like the internet.
Term 260
An IPv4 address is a unique 32-bit numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
Term 261
IPv6 is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol, designed to replace IPv4 by providing a vastly larger number of unique addresses and improved network features.
Term 262
An IPv6 address is a 128-bit numeric label used to identify a device on an Internet Protocol network, designed to replace IPv4 due to the exhaustion of available addresses.
Term 263
An IPv6 global unicast address is a public, globally unique IP address assigned to a single network interface, allowing direct communication over the Internet.
Term 264
An IPv6 link-local address is a self-assigned, non-routable address used for communication between devices on the same network segment without needing a central server.
Term 265
A jump server is a secured, intermediary server that administrators use to access and manage other systems within a protected network zone.
Term 266
Just-enough access is an identity and access management principle that grants users only the minimum permissions required to perform their specific job tasks, reducing security risks.
Term 267
Just-in-time access is a security method that grants users elevated permissions only for a limited time exactly when they need them, then automatically removes those permissions.
Term 268
Kerberoasting is an attack where a hacker steals service account password hashes from Active Directory to crack them offline and gain unauthorized access.
Term 269
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses tickets and symmetric-key cryptography to verify the identity of users and services in a secure, non-repudiable way.
Term 270
Key escrow is a system where cryptographic keys are stored securely with a third party so that authorized parties can access encrypted data when the original key holder is unavailable or when lawful access is required.
