DAI

Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) is a network security feature that prevents ARP spoofing attacks by validating ARP packets against a trusted database before allowing them to pass through the network. It works by cross-checking ARP requests and replies with the DHCP Snooping binding table, ensuring that only legitimate MAC-to-IP mappings are used. DAI is applied […]

CVSS

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a framework used to evaluate the severity of cybersecurity vulnerabilities. It assigns a numerical score, ranging from 0.0 to 10.0, based on factors such as the exploitability of the vulnerability, its impact, and the potential consequences. CVSS helps organizations prioritize vulnerabilities and allocate resources effectively by providing a […]

Corrective Controls

Corrective controls are security measures designed to correct or mitigate the effects of a security incident or breach after it has been detected. These controls help organizations recover from security events by restoring systems, processes, or operations to normal functioning. Corrective controls are typically implemented after the fact to minimize the impact of an attack, […]

Compensating Controls

Compensating controls are security measures or practices that are put in place to satisfy the requirement of a primary control that cannot be implemented due to certain constraints (e.g., technical limitations, cost, complexity, or lack of resources). They serve as an alternative to the original control, effectively reducing risk in a similar way. Compensating controls […]

Cold Site

A cold site is a backup facility with basic infrastructure (power, cooling, and network connectivity) but no pre-installed hardware, software, or data. In the event of a disaster, businesses must bring in equipment and restore data before resuming operations, making it the slowest and least expensive disaster recovery option. Best for businesses that can afford […]
