OS license types are legal agreements that control how you can use, modify, and share operating system software.

This article explores why Azure cost governance needs your immediate attention, provides a practical tool-selection guide so you can make a choice that ticks all your “must-have” boxes, and shows you how to achieve cloud cost savings without weakening security.

AI runtime security safeguards your AI apps, models, and data during active operation. Going beyond traditional security’s focus on static pre-deployment analysis, runtime security monitors AI behavior at inference while it actively processes user requests and sensitive data.

A buffer overflow is a memory corruption vulnerability that allows threat actors to execute malicious code and take control of a program

Application vulnerability management is a continuous process of discovering, assessing, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses in your software code, APIs, and dependencies across the entire development lifecycle.

A CISSP-aligned incident response model outlines seven common steps organizations use to detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents.

An advanced persistent threat is a sophisticated cyberattack where skilled hackers break into your network and stay hidden for months or even years

Indicators of attack (IOAs) are real-time behavioral signals that reveal active malicious activity in your cloud environment. Unlike static signatures, IOAs detect attacker techniques as they happen.

SOC threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice where analysts actively search for signs of malicious activity that bypass traditional security controls.

Indicators of compromise are forensic artifacts that prove a security breach has already happened. Think of IOCs as digital fingerprints left behind at a crime scene—they're specific pieces of evidence that confirm an attacker was in your system.

Enrichment in threat intelligence is the process of adding context, metadata, and relationships to raw security data to make it actionable.

An application security engineer is a security professional who protects software applications from threats throughout the entire development process.

Vulnerability threat intelligence is the practice of combining vulnerability assessment data with real-world threat information to understand which security weaknesses actually matter.

Digital risk protection (DRP) is a cybersecurity discipline that monitors and mitigates threats to your digital assets across public, deep, and dark web channels.

Copyleft is a licensing method that uses copyright law to ensure software freedom and requires derivative works to maintain the same open license.

While the deep web is mostly used for legitimate, private activities, the dark web hosts both illegal marketplaces and serves as a haven for privacy-seekers and activists in repressive regimes.

API security risks are the complete spectrum of threats targeting application programming interfaces (APIs), including technical vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and business logic flaws.

Kubernetes security incidents differ fundamentally from traditional IT breaches. Containers and pods are ephemeral—some containers live for only seconds or minutes. They're created, destroyed, and moved within seconds, making it far harder to track attacks compared to static servers.

Agentic AI security protects AI systems that autonomously make decisions, use tools, and take action in live environments. Agentic AI doesn't just answer questions—it acts on them.
