Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service that allows users to store, access, and share files from anywhere, syncing them across devices and enabling offline access. It is very useful for remote work. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneDrive
Trojans
A Trojan (or Trojan horse) is a type of malicious software (malware) that disguises itself as a legitimate or benign program to deceive users into downloading, installing, or executing it. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans do not replicate themselves; they rely on tricking users or administrators into unknowingly introducing them into a system. Once activated, […]
PAM
Privileged Access Management (PAM) refers to a set of cybersecurity practices, technologies, and tools designed to manage and monitor access to critical systems, applications, and data by privileged users (such as administrators, system operators, and other highly trusted roles). PAM ensures that these users only have access to the systems they need, and that their […]
XDR
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that integrates multiple security tools and data sources across an organization’s network, endpoints, servers, and email systems. XDR provides advanced threat detection, real-time response, and automated remediation by correlating data from various security layers. By offering centralized visibility and analysis, XDR enhances an organization’s ability […]
Diffie-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.

EDR
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is a cybersecurity solution designed to monitor, detect, and respond to threats on endpoint devices like computers, servers, and mobile devices. It provides real-time visibility, advanced threat detection, and automated or manual responses to mitigate risks. EDR is a critical tool for identifying sophisticated attacks that bypass traditional antivirus defenses. […]
AAA
AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) defines how users are identified, granted permissions, and monitored across IT systems. Authentication verifies identity, authorization enforces access rights, and accounting records activities for auditing. MSPs apply AAA principles in firewalls, VPNs, and Active Directory environments to enhance security and compliance. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAA_(computer_security)
Firewall
In IT, a firewall is a network security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic, blocking unauthorized access and protecting against cyber threats based on predefined security rules. Firewalls act as a barrier between a network and external sources, like the internet, or between different parts of a network. Firewalls can be […]
Asymmetric Encryption
Asymmetric Encryption, also known as public-key cryptography, uses two mathematically related keys — a public key for encrypting data and a private key for decrypting it. This approach underpins digital certificates, SSL/TLS security, and secure email systems. It enables safe key exchange over insecure networks, forming the foundation for modern Internet security.

FWaaS
FWaaS (Firewall-as-a-Service) is a cloud-based security service that delivers firewall protection through the cloud rather than relying on traditional on-premises hardware firewalls. This service offers the same functionality as a traditional firewall, such as traffic filtering, intrusion prevention, and threat detection, but with the flexibility, scalability, and management simplicity that comes with being cloud-native.
