With this hash in hand, the attacker can generate a properly signed Kerberos ticket entirely offline, assigning it any identity, privilege level, and lifetime – even up to ten years. Although such a ticket is forged, it is fully valid from the system’s perspective because cryptographically everything checks out. - [IDOR vulnerability – how to detect an attack on web applications through HTTP traffic analysis](https://www.sycope.com/post/idor-vulnerability-how-to-detect-an-attack-on-web-applications-through-http-traffic-analysis): This vulnerability appears when a system does not verify user permissions for a specific resource on the server side but merely assumes that any request coming from a logged-in account is valid. As a result, an attacker can manipulate object identifiers — for example, in the URL or the HTTP request body — and gain access to data they do not own. A classic example is the address /invoice.php?id=123, where changing the value of id to 124 allows viewing someone else’s invoice. - [Zero Trust architecture – the role of network visibility and microsegmentation in security](https://www.sycope.com/post/zero-trust-architecture-the-role-of-network-visibility-and-microsegmentation-in-security): Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle of never trusting any user or device by default — even if they are inside the organization’s network. Every access request must be continuously verified based on identity, context, and risk level. This approach limits an attacker’s ability to move within the network and reduces the impact of potential security breaches. - [ARP spoofing – how to detect a Man-in-the-Middle attack and ARP poisoning in a LAN network](https://www.sycope.com/post/arp-spoofing-how-to-detect-a-man-in-the-middle-attack-and-arp-poisoning-in-a-lan-network): ARP spoofing is an attack in a local network in which an attacker impersonates another device by sending falsified ARP messages in order to intercept network traffic between a user and, for example, the network gateway. This allows the attacker to eavesdrop on, modify, or block transmitted data. The technique is commonly used in Man-in-the-Middle attacks within LAN environments. - [Strategic partnership with Advatech](https://www.sycope.com/post/strategic-partnership-with-advatech): Advatech, founded in 1998, specializes in IT system integration with a strong focus on storage infrastructure, virtualization, and cybersecurity.

Their aim is to paralyse the network infrastructure or applications by sending a huge number of data packets to the victim’s network.Distributed Denial of Service attacks require the use of thousands of devices arranged in groups known as botnets. Quite often, DDoS attacks result not only in financial losses related to the interruption of certain services or the cost of paying a ransom for stopping the attack, but also in damages to the organisation’image. - [NetFlow as valuable data source for SecOps](https://www.sycope.com/post/netflow-as-valuable-data-source-for-secops): SecOps has many security monitoring systems in its arsenal, as shown in Figure 1. The main system used by Security Operations Center (SOC) is a SIEM system, which correlates logs from multiple data sources, such as operating systems, databases, network devices, applications or security systems in order to detect potential threats and security policy violations. - [Threat Hunting – how to hunt for a security threats?](https://www.sycope.com/post/threat-hunting-how-to-hunt-for-a-security-threats): Threat Hunting is an active search for adversaries in the organization's infrastructure, without any knowledge they are there, during which it searches for patterns of malicious activity that have not been detected by any other detection mechanisms. The goal of this process is to reduce the damage caused by threat actors by reducing the time of detection of adversary, which can be up to 9 months. There are many approaches to dealing with threat hunting. The common part of all these methods is the fact that data is collected from multiple sources and then analysed for anomalies that are not handled by SOC. In this process, an invaluable knowledge base, especially for those who start their adventure in this area and do not know where to start, is the database of TTPs prepared by ATT&CK MITRE. It contains many valuable suggestions on how attackers work. - [New release v.2.2](https://www.sycope.com/post/new-release-v-2-2): Discovery mode with possibility to add custom NetFlow fields to the system for dedicated analysis and presentation of data (e.g. fields specific to a certain type or brand of equipment.) - [How to effectively implement the threat modeling process?](https://www.sycope.com/post/how-to-effectively-implement-the-threat-modeling-process): Threat Modelling is a view of the application and its environment through the prism of security.

It’s precisely this technique that allows criminals to gain more power within a network, often taking control of the entire corporate IT infrastructure. The initial breach is just the beginning. Lateral movement is the key to the success of the most spectacular cyberattacks—which is why companies must be ready to act before it’s too late. - [Beaconing](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/beaconing): The term “beaconing” comes from the English word “beacon”—meaning a signal or a lighthouse. Just as a lighthouse guides ships, beaconing gives hackers a path into an organization. - [C2 / C&C (Command and Control)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/c2-cc-command-and-control): C2, or Command and Control, is a true command center for hackers. Thanks to it, attackers can remotely and without the owner’s knowledge take control of computers or devices within a company’s network. Infected machines constantly communicate with the hackers’ server, which allows the attackers to issue commands, steal data, and carry out large-scale cyberattacks. If your organization lacks effective security measures, the consequences may be felt for a very long time. - [DGA (Domain Generation Algorithms)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/dga-domain-generation-algorithms): DGA is a next-generation weapon and unfortunately—if not detected quickly—it can be highly effective. It is one of the most advanced methods available to today’s cybercriminals. As a result, traditional defense systems are often powerless against it. - [Subdomain Takeover](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/subdomain-takeover): Subdomain Takeover is one of those threats that can strike at the least expected moment—and unfortunately, strike painfully at any company operating online. What is it about? Imagine you have a special web address prepared for your clients, but instead of your offer or services, the user is greeted by a fake page created by cybercriminals. Sounds dangerous? And rightly so, because it all starts very innocently: all it takes is a poorly managed subdomain, an old DNS record, or a long-forgotten connection to an external service. If you lose control over this, someone can take over your subdomain—and do whatever they want with it. - [Domain Hijacking](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/domain-hijacking): Domain hijacking is a cyberattack in which hackers take control of your online domain. - [DNS Spoofing / Cache Poisoning](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/dns-spoofing-cache-poisoning): DNS Spoofing, also known as DNS cache poisoning, is a cunning trick used by cybercriminals that involves injecting fake responses into a DNS server. What does this mean in practice? You type in a familiar website address, but end up somewhere you didn’t intend—the system redirects you to a malicious, counterfeit site. This is a serious threat, especially for companies operating online, as it enables criminals to steal valuable data, capture login credentials, or spread malware. - [DNS Amplification](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/dns-amplification): DNS Amplification is one of the most dangerous types of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, which means the massive “overloading” of a company website or servers that causes them to completely stop working. Attackers use DNS servers, which are like the internet’s address books, to unleash an avalanche of traffic which totally blocks your digital services. - [DNS Tunneling](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/dns-tunneling): DNS Tunneling is a clever method used by cybercriminals to "smuggle" data through a network, which easily slips under the radar of traditional security measures. What’s it all about? Normally, our computers send DNS queries to find the addresses of websites—a completely routine activity in every network. However, hackers have learned to exploit this seemingly insignificant channel for transmitting confidential data, controlling infected computers, and bypassing even the most advanced firewalls or monitoring systems. - [ARP Spoofing / Poisoning](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/arp-spoofing-poisoning): Imagine an uninvited guest sneaking into your company’s network, capable of impersonating any device and intercepting your most important data before anyone even notices the threat. That’s how ARP Spoofing (also known as ARP Poisoning) works – a clever yet extremely dangerous hacking method. - [Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/man-in-the-middle-mitm): Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) is a clever and particularly dangerous threat in the world of cybercrime. Imagine you’re communicating with your bank or shopping online—meanwhile, someone is silently eavesdropping and controlling your entire exchange of information. That’s exactly what a MitM attacker does: intercepting your data, altering it, and even stealing your identity and money before you realize something is wrong. - [Password Spraying](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/password-spraying): Password spraying is a cunning attack method that is taking the world of cybercriminals by storm. Instead of painstakingly cracking one account using various passwords, hackers select a single, extremely simple password (such as 123456 or password) and try it on many accounts at once. It’s like trying the same key in hundreds of locks—the attack only needs one lock to open. - [Credential Stuffing](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/credential-stuffing): Credential stuffing is one of the biggest nightmares for companies today, regardless of their size – from dynamic startups to large corporations and institutions. What is this attack about? It is nothing more than the mass use of stolen logins and passwords, which cybercriminals try to enter on various websites and services. This method works so well because many of us still use the same password in multiple places! - [Brute Force](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/brute-force): Brute force is one of the simplest and oldest tricks used by cybercriminals. Imagine a burglar who tries to open a safe by entering every possible combination—until it finally works! That’s exactly how a brute force attack works: a computer automatically tests hundreds or even millions of different passwords until it finds the right one and gains access to an account or system. - [Spear Phishing](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/spear-phishing): Imagine a cyberattack so well-prepared that it can outsmart even the most vigilant employee – that’s exactly what spear phishing is. Unlike classic phishing, which relies on sending thousands of identical messages at random, spear phishing is a precisely targeted attack against a specific person or company. Here, criminals get truly creative: they track your social media, study your company website, and even your interests to craft a message indistinguishable from a genuine one. - [Malware](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/malware): Malware, or malicious software, is today one of the most serious threats you may encounter during everyday internet use. Its purpose is to break through the security defenses of individual users, companies, and organizations—it often works quietly, effectively, and is difficult to notice right away. - [Ransomware](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/ransomware): Ransomware is a cyber threat that can lock you out of your most valuable data in the blink of an eye. See how such an attack unfolds, step by step: - [Slowloris](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/slowloris): Slowloris is a particularly clever type of attack that bypasses standard security measures and strikes where you least expect it. At first glance, nothing seems amiss, but your company could lose accessibility for customers at the worst possible moment! - [HTTP Flood](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/http-flood): It’s a cyberattack in which criminals overwhelm your site with a stream of HTTP requests—the same kind generated by ordinary users browsing your site. The difference? The attackers number in the thousands (usually bots or infected computers), and the quantity of requests can reach thousands or even millions. For your server, everything appears normal, because each request looks like it’s from a real user. And here’s the problem—the server can’t distinguish the enemy from the client, which quickly leads to overload and prevents your site from functioning properly. - [ICMP Flood (Ping Flood)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/icmp-flood-ping-flood): No advanced knowledge or specialized tools are required—practically anyone with basic internet access can cause serious disruptions for both small and large businesses. The effect: loss of service availability, problems with daily operations, and—worst of all—loss of customer trust. - [UDP Flood](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/udp-flood): UDP Flood attack is one of the most dangerous forms of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service). It consists of literally “flooding” a server with a massive number of useless UDP packets. Such a large-scale, rapid attack can quickly disable essential services, potentially paralyzing any organization. - [SYN Flood](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/syn-flood): SYN Flood belongs to the DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) family. What is it? Hackers send massive amounts of fake connection requests (so-called SYN packets) to your server. Flooded with hundreds of thousands of these “knocks at the door,” your server becomes overloaded and stops serving real customers. A single attack can paralyze your website, online store, or your online services within minutes. - [Protocol Attack](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/protocol-attack): It’s a clever method used by cybercriminals that involves finding and exploiting weaknesses in the most important channels of data exchange—that is, protocols such as HTTP, TCP, or DNS. These protocols “organize the traffic” for all applications and online services, and disabling them creates serious problems for any online operation—from stores to banks. - [Application Layer Attack (L7)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/application-layer-attack-l7): Attacks on the application layer, also known as L7 attacks, are modern and particularly dangerous threats aimed directly at your websites, online ordering systems, and APIs—in other words, at the places where your users are most active. Instead of “flooding” the entire network like typical DDoS attacks, cybercriminals look for vulnerabilities and bugs within the software itself. This enables them to discreetly disrupt your services, prevent real customers from accessing them, or steal sensitive data. - [Volumetric Attack](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/volumetric-attack): Note: a volumetric attack is not a temporary website glitch. It’s a real threat that can bring your whole company to a standstill! - [DoS (Denial of Service)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/dos-denial-of-service): In summary – DoS attacks are a real threat to any company using the internet. Only by investing in modern traffic monitoring and protection systems can you sleep peacefully and build your market advantage. Don’t wait until cybercriminals test your defenses – take care of your security and business continuity today! - [DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service)](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/ddos-distributed-denial-of-service): Investing in DDoS protection is above all about safeguarding the stability of your operations and the continuity of your platform. Solutions like Sycope give you an advantage: they analyze network traffic in real time, detect unusual patterns (e.g., a sudden spike in network traffic typical of a DDoS attack), automatically notify you of threats, and enable quick response. All this is to ensure that an attack doesn’t catch your team off guard – and doesn’t turn the trust you’ve earned from your customers into a crisis. - [Direct Network Flood](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/direct-network-flood): It’s one of the most direct attacks on computer networks—consisting of overwhelming targeted infrastructure with massive, uninterrupted network traffic to "clog" servers or devices and prevent them from functioning. There are no intermediaries here: the attacker uses their own machines (and sometimes others, more or less coordinated) to send thousands or even millions of packets to the target at a rapid pace. The aim is simple—to exhaust the victim’s bandwidth or computing power, blocking normal access to services.  - [Zero Trust Architecture](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/zero-trust-architecture): In Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), every attempt to access company resources is thoroughly checked: always, at every step, with no exceptions. Zero Trust means continuous, multi-layered identity verification—the system constantly ensures the user truly has the right to access what they’re trying to reach, rather than simply trusting them because they’re already inside the network.  - [Web Shell Attacks](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/web-shell-attacks): A web shell is a malicious script – a small fragment of code, most often created in languages such as PHP, ASP, or Python. When a cybercriminal places it on your server, they gain remote access to your system, controlling it through a web browser. The result? Your website or application can become a gateway for further attacks: data theft, virus installation, or file manipulation. All of this can be difficult to detect, as attackers often use legitimate server functions!  - [Visibility](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/visibility): Visibility in cybersecurity is simply a complete, up-to-date overview of everything happening within your company’s network and IT infrastructure. Thanks to visibility, you can be sure that you know about every action—from user activities and data transfers to how your applications and devices are operating. It’s like having your own airport control tower, but for managing digital traffic!  - [UDP Protocol](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/udp-protocol): User Datagram Protocol, simply known as UDP, is a fast and lightweight way to transmit data between applications in computer networks. It is a key part of the Internet protocol family (TCP/IP) and operates at the so-called transport layer (which is the fourth “floor” of the OSI model). Its main advantage? UDP allows data to be sent immediately—without formalities or waiting for “approval.” Simply put: you send, and… that’s it.  UDP was created as an express alternative to the “cautious” TCP. It doesn’t care about acknowledgments, doesn’t correct errors, and doesn’t worry about the order of packets or their retransmission in case of problems. This is why it works perfectly in scenarios where speed and low latency are crucial and losing some data occasionally is not a disaster.  - [TCP Protocol](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/tcp-protocol): The Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP is the protocol that ensures that data sent between computers. No matter how far apart they are—always arrives safely, completely, and in the correct order. Imagine a postal courier who not only supervises all deliveries but also checks that every package is delivered directly into the recipient’s hands and that nothing gets lost along the way—that’s exactly what TCP does on the network’s transport layer!  - [TAPs](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/taps): TAPs, or Test Access Points, are specialized devices or technological solutions used in cybersecurity. Their main task is to monitor and capture network traffic completely transparently—without disrupting the network or compromising the integrity of transmitted data. TAPs create physical access points that enable precise analysis of communication between devices on the network. Thanks to them, tools like Sycope provide full visibility, effective monitoring, and a real increase in IT security levels. Sycope utilizes data provided by TAPs to help administrators analyze traffic and respond quickly to incidents—all while the network remains unaffected.  - [SPAN](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/span): SPAN (Switch Port Analyzer) is a feature built into network switches. It allows you to copy traffic from selected ports (i.e., observe chosen “traffic lanes”) and send it to another port for direct analysis. Thanks to this, you can monitor and analyze live data using modern tools such as packet analyzers, security systems, or specialized solutions like the Sycope platform.  - [SNMP protocol](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/snmp-protocol): SNMP, or Simple Network Management Protocol, is an open and very popular standard that makes it easy to monitor and manage devices within any computer network. Thanks to SNMP, administrators can centrally collect information about the state of their infrastructure, control the operation of devices, and quickly detect and resolve problems—before they affect the company's operations.  - [SIEM](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/siem): SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a tool designed to keep your company’s security pulse in check. It is a system that collects, analyzes, and reports data from your entire IT infrastructure—whether servers, networks, or applications. With SIEM, you have everything under control—you see what is happening within your systems and are ready to immediately detect and stop any threat.  One of the most advanced solutions of this type is Sycope—a platform providing real-time analysis of IT security events. It uses network traffic monitoring and log analysis to quickly detect anomalies, correlate events, and alert you whenever necessary. Sycope is your trusted “guardian,” protecting you every day, assisting with post-incident investigations, and preparing compliance reports. Much of this is highly automated, speeding up and simplifying your response to threats.  - [RBAC](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/rbac): Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a modern way to manage user permissions in IT systems. Instead of assigning rights to every user individually, RBAC allows access to be granted based on roles—meaning the functions or positions held within an organization. Simpler, clearer, and more effective access management becomes reality even in large and complex companies. Solutions like Sycope have built-in RBAC support, enabling centralized access management and meeting security requirements.  RBAC ensures that only those people who truly need it for their work have access to sensitive data. It minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and strengthens company protection. Additionally, Sycope makes it easy to track who accessed the system, when, and to what extent—so you can quickly detect irregularities or abuse attempts.  - [Process Doppelgänging](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/process-doppelganging): Discover Process Doppelgänging – a cybercriminal trick that makes malware invisible to most antivirus programs! This method allows dangerous code to be run in Windows without leaving a single suspicious file on the disk – an ideal solution for those who want to bypass even advanced security measures.  - [Principle of Least Privilege](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/principle-of-least-privilege): The Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) is the key to solid cybersecurity. What does it involve? It's simple—users, programs, and processes are granted only those permissions that they actually need to do their work or perform a specific task. This approach drastically reduces the potential for both accidental mistakes and deliberate attacks. If someone or something gains access to the system through a security hole, they won't immediately take control of everything—their capabilities will be heavily limited by the level of permissions they have been granted.  - [Port Scanning](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/port-scanning): Port scanning is a method of checking which doors to the digital world—that is, which ports on computers and network devices—are open, closed, or blocked. Why do this? To find out what services are running on a given device and better manage the security of your infrastructure.  It’s an essential tool for every IT security professional: it allows you to assess the state of the network, detect weak points and potential threats, and helps keep your digital environment orderly and healthy.  - [Active directory](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/active-directory): Active Directory is a Microsoft creation that entered the market in 1999 alongside Windows 2000 Server. Prior to that, managing users and network resources was simpler but far more limited—solutions like Windows NT Domain Services were used, which struggled to meet the needs of larger companies and advanced security requirements. With each subsequent version of Windows Server (2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, and later), Active Directory became more powerful. New features were added, scalability was improved, and additional security measures were introduced, such as domain forests, organizational units, and more advanced methods of identity verification and data synchronization. Today Active Directory also enables integration with cloud services and supports multi-factor authentication, offering a modern approach to security and convenience for companies of any size. - [End User Experience Monitoring](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/end-user-experience-monitoring): End User Experience Monitoring is simply a way to keep an eye on how people are using your applications, services, or IT systems—and, most importantly, how they feel about it! In today's world, where digital security is a priority, companies use specialized tools that show, in real-time, whether users are experiencing any issues with system functionality, if everything is running smoothly, and can also detect concerning signals that may threaten data security or service performance.   This monitoring isn’t just about numbers and tables—it’s a daily analysis of many factors, such as application loading speed, occurrence of errors, and even user reactions to unusual situations. With such an approach, companies can quickly spot problems and ensure that users are always satisfied and—equally important—safe. - [Digital Experience Monitoring](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/digital-experience-monitoring): Digital Experience Monitoring, or DEM, is an innovative method that allows companies to oversee how users interact with their websites, web applications, and mobile apps. Imagine DEM as a personal “quality guardian in the digital world,” constantly checking that your digital products work quickly, smoothly, and without interruptions.  - [Deep Packet Inspection](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/deep-packet-inspection): Deep Packet Inspection, or DPI, is a modern method of monitoring network traffic that literally looks inside the data transmitted within your company or by your Internet provider. Unlike traditional tools that only see basic information like IP addresses or ports, DPI also analyzes the actual content of packets – it recognizes applications, inspects transmitted files, and even entire sections of messages. Thanks to this, administrators can see what is really happening on the network and respond to threats before they become a problem.  A leading solution utilizing DPI is the Sycope platform. It is a true network control center that not only tracks traffic in real time, but also identifies applications and users, enables rapid detection of anomalies, allows you to establish your own security policies, and generates clear reports.  - [Dead Drop Resolver](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/dead-drop-resolver): Dead Drop Resolver is a specialized program or technique that automatically detects and reads hidden data—so-called "dead drops." These digital stashes can be scattered across hard-to-reach, unconventional places on the internet, where users and programs leave information for others or systems to retrieve. - [Data deduplication](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/data-deduplication): Data deduplication is a technique that finds duplicate files and keeps only one unique copy. As a result, you gain more space on your disk, speed up operations, and save on storage costs. In short: deduplication turns digital chaos into an organized, cheaper, and more efficient IT environment. By eliminating redundancy, you simplify resource management and lower data storage expenses. It also means less work handling files—the system itself ensures there’s only one copy. The efficiency and orderliness of large file collections are within your reach.  - [Data mining](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/data-mining): Data mining is your data intelligence – thanks to it, we discover patterns, correlations, and important information hidden in vast data sets. We use advanced analytical tools, statistics, and artificial intelligence algorithms to turn raw data into valuable knowledge that helps you make better decisions.  Tools such as Sycope allow you to search historical data from any moment, analyze trends, and draw accurate business conclusions. With them, you can see not only what is happening right now but also understand the past and predict the future.  In the cybersecurity, data mining is your ally in the fight against threats – it helps detect anomalies, track unauthorized activities, and identify potential attacks before they cause damage. Platforms like Sycope enable in-depth investigation of incidents, risk assessment, and rapid response to threats by leveraging knowledge embedded in historical data.  - [Cyber Threat Intelligence](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/cyber-threat-intelligence): Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is your digital shield against hackers! It’s more than just gathering and analyzing information about cyber threats—it’s about transforming this data into practical knowledge that protects your entire company. With CTI, organizations can react to attacks more quickly and effectively, while minimizing their impact on IT systems.  Modern technologies, such as Sycope CTI, use advanced security algorithms that constantly analyze hundreds of information sources, catching even the subtlest signals of danger (so-called indicators of compromise—IoC). These systems update their databases several times a day, eliminating false alarms and always providing the latest data. This makes threat detection—including those affecting your company’s reputation—fast and precise.  By implementing CTI, IT teams and security departments establish a solid foundation for making informed decisions about protecting digital assets. It is a continuous process that requires cooperation among various people within the company. - [Fast Flux](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/fast-flux): Fast Flux is a technique used by cybercriminals, based on constantly swapping out the IP addresses associated with a given domain name in the DNS system. This way, the real locations of servers spreading viruses, hosting fake data-stealing websites, carrying out phishing attacks, or managing whole botnets can be effectively concealed. The goal? To make it difficult to detect and neutralize this harmful infrastructure!  - [IPFIX](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/ipfix): IPFIX, or Internet Protocol Flow Information Export, is a modern standard that allows you to efficiently collect, transmit, and analyze detailed data on network traffic within your organization. Imagine central control over IP traffic – a complete view of all packet flows between devices, regardless of the manufacturer! IPFIX was created to simplify and standardize the collection and exchange of information about what is really happening in your network. The result? A secure, optimized, and perfectly managed IT infrastructure, ready for tomorrow’s challenges.  Why has IPFIX earned the trust of administrators and security experts? Mainly thanks to its universality – it enables data exchange between different devices without having to worry about their manufacturer or data format. Every user can adjust the range and detail of exported information to their own needs – want more details or to select specific parameters? No problem!  - [Internet Peering](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/internet-peering): Discover the world of Internet Peering – the secret ingredient that makes the Internet faster, more efficient, and more reliable! Instead of sending your traffic through complicated labyrinths of multiple intermediaries, peering allows two independent networks – usually operators or Internet Service Providers (ISPs) – to connect directly and exchange data… and it’s free of charge! All of this ensures that Internet traffic takes a shorter path, has lower latency, and doesn’t unnecessarily burden main network routes.  - [Intrusion Detecting System](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/intrusion-detecting-system): An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is like a night watchman for your computer network. It is software or a device designed to safeguard your company’s data security around the clock—detecting suspicious access attempts, unauthorized activities, or security breaches. The primary role of an IDS is to identify anomalies in network traffic or detect known attack patterns before cybercriminals can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of your system. It’s not just an alarm—it’s your first warning that something is happening, allowing administrators to react immediately.  One of the modern IDS solutions is the Sycope platform. Sycope enables real-time threat detection by monitoring network traffic using NetFlow and IPFIX technologies. This platform stands out not only for its real-time analysis and alerts but also for its full integration with other security tools like SIEM and automatic response systems such as SOAR. Advanced reporting, incident visualization, and easy management ensure you have control over every movement.  - [MITTRE ATT&CK](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/mittre-attck): MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) is an open knowledge base that organizes information about how cybercriminals operate in a clear and structured way. It was created by the American non-profit organization MITRE Corporation. Today, it is the global standard for threat analysis and information security management. Why is ATT&CK so highly regarded? It allows you to quickly understand and track how potential attackers may operate in the digital world. The database is constantly updated and publicly available – this way, you can be sure you’re using the latest knowledge about hacker techniques targeting various IT environments.  - [NAC](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/nac): It's a system that verifies the identity and permissions of every user or device, enforces specific security policies, and swiftly eliminates threats related to unauthorized access. It automatically recognizes who is trying to enter your network (whether it's a computer, smartphone, or printer), assesses their security status, and decides what they can see and what they can access based on that assessment.  - [NetFlow](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/netflow): NetFlow is a solution that makes computer networks more transparent than ever before. Designed by Cisco Systems, NetFlow has safeguarded the security and efficiency of the world’s largest networks for years by collecting detailed information about how and when devices communicate. Once reserved exclusively for Cisco equipment, today it is available in devices from many other manufacturers and has become the gold standard in network monitoring.  - [Network Observability](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/network-observability): Network observability, in simple terms, is a superpower that lets you see exactly what is happening in your IT infrastructure. Thanks to it, you have full insight into network traffic, performance, errors, and security incidents. Most importantly, all this data is presented in a way that lets you quickly spot any anomalies and diagnose problems before they can harm your organization.  Nowadays, network observability goes beyond simple monitoring. It allows you not only to control the current situation, but also to deeply analyze and understand the processes taking place in your network. The result? You’ll detect attacks faster, immediately notice unauthorized activity, and have a much greater chance of preventing serious incidents—all in compliance with legal and industry requirements.  - [Network Topology](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/network-topology): Network topology might sound technical, but it’s actually the backbone—literally—of how everything in your computer network is connected and communicates. Imagine it as the blueprint that shows how your computers, servers, switches, routers, and all your key IT infrastructure plug into each other. And it’s not just about where the cables go (that’s the physical part); it’s also about how your data travels around the network (the logical part). Why does this matter? Because a well-designed network topology makes your IT setup safer, easier to manage, smoother in data flow, and ready to scale up as your business grows. The right topology can mean less downtime, better security, and easier monitoring. Want to make the most of your network? Tools like Sycope, which is the first on the market to use advanced deduplication of NetFlow data, help you track and analyze all that traffic without wasting storage. NetFlow itself is a powerful protocol that collects info on all the IP traffic happening across your network, and Sycope’s deduplication means you keep things efficient—even if your network is massive and complex.  - [Phishing](https://www.sycope.com/post/dictionary-item/phishing): Phishing is a form of fraud that preys on the trust of internet users. Criminals impersonate known institutions, companies, or even your friends and attempt to steal your passwords, credit card numbers, or other confidential information—often via emails, SMS messages, or messages on social media platforms. The term “phishing” resembles the English word “fishing” for a reason: cybercriminals cast a virtual bait, hoping you’ll get caught by their trick.  ## Integrations - [Atlassian Jira](https://www.sycope.com/post/integration/atlassian-jira) - [IP Address Management (IPAM)](https://www.sycope.com/post/integration/ip-address-management-ipam) - [Slack](https://www.sycope.com/post/integration/slack) - [Suricata](https://www.sycope.com/post/integration/suricata) - [Zabbix](https://www.sycope.com/post/integration/zabbix) ## Case studies - [How Veolia used Sycope to reduce SIEM licensing costs and enhance network monitoring](https://www.sycope.com/post/case-study/how-veolia-used-sycope-to-reduce-siem-licensing-costs-and-enhance-network-monitoring): Veolia Group stands as a leader in delivering innovative energy, water, and waste management services aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
