{tableName=glossary, name=Privilege Escalation, description= Privilege escalation is the act of exploiting a bug, design flaw, or configuration oversight in an operating system or software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an ordinary user. It is a type of attack where an attacker with limited access privileges is able to, without authorization, elevate their privileges or access level. Privilege escalation can be used to gain access to files, settings, and other resources that are normally protected from an ordinary user. It can also be used to gain access to more powerful accounts, such as those with administrative or root privileges, which can then be used to launch further attacks on the system. Privilege escalation attacks are usually carried out through exploiting security vulnerabilities in the operating system or application, or by using malicious software, such as malware, to gain access to higher-level accounts., topic=null, hs_path=privilege-escalation}--

{tableName=glossary, name=Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), description= An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a type of security software that monitors a network or system for malicious activity or policy violations. It gathers and analyzes information from various areas within a network or system to identify possible security breaches, which include both intrusions (attempts to compromise security) and misuse (violations of policy). The ultimate goal of an IDS is to detect, alert, and respond to any suspicious activity or policy violations. IDSs can be either signature-based or anomaly-based. Signature-based IDSs detect known malicious activities, such as a specific type of attack, by comparing the information gathered to a database of known attack signatures. Anomaly-based IDSs, on the other hand, detect suspicious activities by comparing the information gathered to a baseline of normal behavior. IDSs are typically deployed on networks, servers, and endpoints to monitor for malicious activity. They can also be used to detect and respond to insider threats and data exfiltration. IDSs can be used in conjunction with other security tools, such as firewalls, to provide a comprehensive security solution., topic=[{id=97620570528, createdAt=1673040885452, updatedAt=1715624222504, path='cybersecurity-risk-management', name=' Cybersecurity Risk Management: A Guide for Businesses', 1='{type=string, value=Cybersecurity Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides essential information on cyber security risk management, including how to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to your organization's data and systems.
