Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a software that allows users to create, manage, and interact with relational databases. In an RDBMS, data is organized into tables, which consist of rows and columns, with each table representing a specific entity, such as customers or orders. These tables can be […]
ROT Data Management
ROT Data Management ROT data management is the process of identifying, handling, and eliminating ROT data – data that is redundant, obsolete, or trivial – within an organization. This type of data often clutters storage systems, increases operational costs, and poses potential security risks without adding any real value. Effective ROT data management involves assessing […]
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is an advanced natural language processing approach that combines retrieval and generation techniques to produce more accurate and contextually relevant text. In RAG, a retrieval system first searches a large corpus of documents to find relevant information based on a given query. Then, a generative model uses this retrieved […]
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Role-based access control (RBAC) regulates access to computer systems and data based on the roles assigned to individual users within an organization. Each role corresponds to specific access permissions that determine what resources and actions a user is allowed. RBAC simplifies user permissions management by grouping users with similar access needs […]
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) Remote browser isolation (RBI) is a security technology that isolates web browsing activities from a user’s local network and device by executing all browser interactions on a remote server. This means that any malicious content encountered while browsing is contained within the remote environment, preventing it from reaching the user’s device. […]
RC4
RC4 RC4 is a stream cipher encryption algorithm that uses a variable-length key to encrypt data one byte at a time. Developed by Ron Rivest in 1987, RC4 is known for its simplicity and speed, making it widely used in protocols such as SSL/TLS and WEP. However, due to discovered vulnerabilities and weaknesses in its […]
Recovery
Recovery Recovery, or data recovery, refers to the process of retrieving lost, deleted, corrupted, or inaccessible data from storage devices such as hard drives or backup systems. This can involve using specialized software tools to restore data or, in more severe cases, employing professional data recovery services to salvage data from damaged hardware. Data recovery […]
Remote Access
Remote Access Remote access refers to the capability to connect to and utilize a computer, network, or system from a location away from the physical site. This connection is usually established via the internet or another network, allowing users to interact with resources, files, applications, and services as though they are directly accessing the remote […]
Risk Management
Risk Management Risk management in cybersecurity is the systematic process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to an organization’s information systems. It involves recognizing vulnerabilities, evaluating the likelihood and impact of risks, prioritizing them, and implementing strategies to reduce or eliminate high-priority threats. Continuous monitoring and updating of risk management practices are essential to […]
RSA Encryption
RSA Encryption RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) encryption is a widely used asymmetric cryptographic algorithm that relies on a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. Its security is based on the difficulty of factoring large prime numbers. RSA allows secure communication over insecure channels, enabling users to encrypt messages with […]
ROT Data
ROT Data ROT data refers to information within an organization’s systems that has lost its value or relevance. This acronym breaks down into three categories: Redundant: Duplicate or repetitive data in multiple locations or formats Obsolete: Outdated information that is no longer accurate, useful, or applicable to current operations Trivial: Data of minimal or no […]
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment Risk assessment is a systematic process in cybersecurity that identifies, analyzes, and evaluates potential threats and vulnerabilities to an organization’s information systems and networks. It involves assessing various security risks’ likelihood and potential impact, allowing organizations to prioritize their security efforts and allocate resources effectively. Key steps include asset (or data) identification, threat […]
