• access control

• availability

• attack surface

• risk avoidance

The exposure, the reachable and exploitable vulnerabilities that a system or technology has.

• attack surface

• confidentiality

• risk

• Access control

Helps to identify the attack surface that an organization may be susceptible to.

• attack surface analysis

• flash drive

• defense in depth

• attack surface

Describes a resource being accessible to a user, application, or computer system when required. In other words, availability means that when a user needs to get to information, he or she has the ability to do so.

• availability

• access control

• integrity

• attack surface analysis

The characteristic of a resource ensuring access is restricted to only permitted users, applications, or computer systems.

• confidentiality

• attack surface

• availability

• integrity

Using multiple layers of security to defend your assets.

• defense in depth

• attack surface analysis

• risk

• residual risk

An acronym that stands for Damage potential:

• DREAD
• STRIDE
• DANGER
• MUSTER

Network traffic that begins inside a network and proceeds through its routers to its destination somewhere outside of the network.

• egress traffic
• ingress traffic
• SYN flood
• defense in depth

A small drive based on flash memory.

• flash drive
• SSD
• FTP
• Key looger

Traffic that originates from outside the network’s routers and proceeds toward a destination inside the network.

• ingress traffic
• engress traffic
• attack surface
• defense in depth
