Amplification Attack
A DDoS attack in which an adversary spoofs the victim's IP and abuses UDP services (DNS, NTP, Memcached) to reflect traffic many times larger than the requests sent.
Learn more >
Anomaly Detection
A method that monitors data to identify unusual patterns or behavior. It helps detect possible threats, faults, or fraud early so they can be investigated.
Learn more >
API
An agreed set of rules that lets programs exchange data and run each other's functions through requests and responses, most often via HTTP-based web APIs.
Learn more >
API Security
Practices and controls protecting APIs against unauthorized access, business logic abuse, and data exposure: authentication, authorization, encryption, and monitoring.
Learn more >
Application Layer Attack (L7)
Attacks targeting web applications and APIs by exploiting software vulnerabilities to disrupt services, steal data, or prevent legitimate user access.
Learn more >
APT (Advanced Persistent Threat)
APT is a targeted cyberattack in which attackers keep covert access to a system for a long time to steal data, disrupt operations, or conduct espionage.
Learn more >
ARP Spoofing / Poisoning
ARP spoofing is a network attack where a hacker sends forged ARP messages to redirect traffic through themselves, enabling data interception and manipulation.
Learn more >
Asset Discovery
Automatically finding and listing all IT assets — hardware, software, services, and cloud resources — as the basis for visibility and vulnerability management.
Learn more >
Bandwidth
The maximum, theoretical rate at which a network link can carry data over time, given in bits per second (Mbps, Gbps). It describes channel capacity, not the throughput actually achieved.
Learn more >
Baseline (Baselining)
A statistical picture of normal network, server, and user behavior, used as a reference point for detecting anomalies (NDR/NPM).
Learn more >
Beaconing
Malware's periodic communication with a remote attacker-controlled server to receive commands or exfiltrate data while evading detection.
