Cybersecurity Concepts Overview

A set of rules that controls network traffic by specifying which users or systems can access certain network resources.

A symmetric-key encryption algorithm where the same key is used for both encryption and decryption.

A cybersecurity tool used by government agencies and defense contractors for vulnerability scanning, compliance management, and continuous monitoring.

A database of identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities, each assigned a unique ID.

A security device or software that monitors and controls network traffic based on predefined rules, acting as a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks.

A cybersecurity initiative used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance network security and improve visibility and control over data traffic across its global enterprise.

A security model that restricts system access based on the roles of individual users within an organization.

An asymmetric-key encryption algorithm that uses a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

A system that gathers and analyzes security data from various sources within an organization's IT infrastructure, enabling real-time monitoring, threat detection, and incident response.

Cybersecurity guidelines designed by the Department of Defense (DoD) to secure their systems. They provide detailed instructions for configuring hardware and software to make systems harder to attack.

A category of security solutions that automate and orchestrate responses to security incidents for more effective and efficient security operations.

A device or technology used in network monitoring and security to capture and analyze network traffic without disrupting the normal flow of network data.

An encryption algorithm that applies the DES encryption algorithm three times to each data block for stronger security.

A technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, like the internet, protecting private web traffic.

A cybersecurity tool that restricts access to certain websites or content based on defined criteria, enhancing security and productivity.

A symmetric-key encryption algorithm that applies the DES encryption algorithm three times to each data block. It was developed to improve the security of DES after its weakness with a short key length was realized.

The official guide that provides comprehensive cybersecurity instructions for the U.S. Coast Guard. This manual outlines policies, procedures, and best practices to protect Coast Guard systems from cyber threats.
