SECURITY

A digital certificate verifies the identity of individuals, organizations, or devices online. It contains identifiable information about the certificate holder.

A Man-in-the-Middle MitM attacks are serious threats to the confidentiality and integrity of data. They occur when an attacker intercepts communications between two parties.

FIPS 140-2 is a US government standard that specifies the requirements for cryptographic modules used to protect sensitive information.

Self-signed SSL certificates are generated to provide data security. But they do not have the same level of trust as certificates created by trusted authorities.

SHA-256 is a secure cryptographic algorithm. Its hash function generates a fixed size output for any given input, which is extremely handy for data integrity.

Tokenization is a technique that replaces data with unique tokens. This software-based process helps protect sensitive data elements and reduce the risk of data breaches.

X.509 is a standard of digital certificates that verify the identity of entities in a network. It is the most widely used format for public key certificates.

Zero Trust Architecture refers to the complete lack of trust in anyone. The model implies that each user's access to the network must be validated.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) provide a secure connection on the Internet. The main difference between them is that the SSLL is not longer safe to use as it is.

PCI DSS is a set of security standards designed to ensure that organizations that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.

Hardware Security Module HSM is a physical device that performs cryptographic operations. They are used for secured encryption, decryption, key generation and digital signing.

Digital signature is a type of electronic signature that confirms the data authenticity and integrity. It is created using mathematical technique called cryptography.

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is a cryptographic protocol that implies a relatively secure connection throw encryption and digital certificates.

Cloud Access Security Brokers - a set of solutions aiming to interject enterprise security policies in the cloud environment. The main task of CASB is to protect access to the cloud data and prevent its leakage.

Transport Layer Security TLS is a widely deployed security protocol that is used to protect data transmitted over the Internet. It prevents the interception of confidential information by cybercriminals. TLS is used to secure emails...
