Deep Packet Inspection is a method of inspecting network traffic at a detailed level, analyzing the content of packets that are being transmitted across the network to detect malicious activity or violations of security policies. DPI technology became important for detecting advanced persistent threats (APTs) and identifying hidden vulnerabilities in encrypted traffic. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DPI
Read MoreDNS Layer Security
DNS Layer Security refers to the protection of the Domain Name System (DNS), which is responsible for translating human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses. DNS is a critical part of the internet infrastructure, and securing it is essential to prevent various types of attacks that target DNS. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_Layer_Security

DNS stands for Domain Name System. A Domain Name System turns domain names into IP addresses, which allow browsers to get to websites and other internet resources. Every device on the internet has an IP address, which other devices can us to locate the device. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_
Read MoreDMARC
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) works by leveraging SPF and DKIM to authenticate incoming email messages. For an email to pass DMARC, it must pass either SPF or DKIM (or both), and the domain used in the From header must match the authenticated domain. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMARC
Read MoreDLP
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a set of cybersecurity strategies, tools, and technologies designed to prevent unauthorized access, sharing, or leakage of sensitive information outside of an organization. DLP systems monitor and control data transfers, both within the organization and externally, to ensure that sensitive data (such as financial records, personal information, or intellectual property) […]
Read MoreDKIM
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication method that allows the sender to attach a digital signature to emails. This signature is used to verify that the email was indeed sent by the owner of the domain and that the message was not altered during transmission. DKIM helps improve email security by preventing email […]
Read MoreDistance-Vector
Distance Vector Routing Protocols determine the best path to a destination based on hop count and periodically share routing information with neighboring routers. These protocols use the Bellman-Ford algorithm to calculate routes and rely on routers exchanging their entire routing tables at regular intervals. Distance Vector protocols are simpler to configure but converge more slowly […]
Read MoreDisaster Recovery
Disaster recovery (DR) refers to the strategies, policies, and procedures an organization implements to recover and protect its IT infrastructure, data, and applications after a disaster or significant disruption. The goal of disaster recovery is to minimize downtime, restore operations quickly, and prevent data loss in the event of natural disasters (e.g., floods, earthquakes), human […]
Read MoreDiffie-Hellman
The Diffie–Hellman key exchange allows two parties to establish a shared secret key over a public network without directly transmitting the key itself. It forms the foundation for many modern encryption systems, including VPNs and HTTPS, by ensuring both ends of a communication can encrypt and decrypt data privately.

Read MoreDictionary Attack
A dictionary attack is a type of cyberattack in which an attacker systematically attempts to gain unauthorized access to a system by using a precompiled list of common passwords, phrases, or words. Instead of trying random combinations like in brute force attacks, dictionary attacks rely on the likelihood that users may choose weak or commonly […]
