An eavesdropping attack, also known as snooping or passive interception, is a type of cyber attack where an unauthorized party secretly listens in on or monitors communication between two or more parties without their knowledge or consent. Eavesdropping attacks aim to intercept sensitive or confidential information being transmitted over a network, such as usernames, passwords, […]

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a type of public-key cryptography that uses the mathematical properties of elliptic curves over finite fields to provide secure communication, encryption, digital signatures, and key exchange protocols. ECC offers several advantages over traditional cryptographic algorithms, such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman), including smaller key sizes, faster computation, and efficient use of computational

Email encryption is a security measure that involves encoding the content of email messages to protect them from unauthorized access or interception during transmission. Encryption ensures that only authorized recipients can read the contents of an email by encrypting the message text or attachments using cryptographic algorithms and keys. Email encryption helps safeguard sensitive information,
Email filtering refers to the process of inspecting incoming or outgoing email messages and applying predefined rules or criteria to categorize, prioritize, or manage those messages based on their content, sender, recipient, or other attributes. The primary goal of email filtering is to identify and manage unwanted or malicious email messages, such as spam, phishing
An Email Security Gateway is a specialized security solution designed to protect organizations from email-based threats, such as spam, phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, and other malicious content. It serves as a gatekeeper between an organization’s email infrastructure and the external internet, filtering incoming and outgoing email traffic to identify and block potentially harmful messages. Key

Email spoofing is a deceptive technique used by attackers to forge or manipulate email headers, sender addresses, and content to appear as if the email originated from a trusted source, organization, or individual. Email spoofing is commonly employed in phishing attacks, spam campaigns, and other malicious activities to deceive recipients and trick them into taking
Embedded security refers to the integration of security measures and protocols directly into hardware, firmware, or software components of embedded systems, devices, or applications. Embedded systems are specialized computing systems designed to perform specific functions within larger systems or devices, such as industrial control systems, automotive systems, medical devices, IoT devices, and consumer electronics. Embedded
Encryption is the process of converting information or data into a form that is unintelligible without the use of a specific decryption key or algorithm. It is a fundamental technique used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or interception during transmission or storage. In encryption, plaintext (original data) is transformed into ciphertext (encrypted data)
Encryption at Rest is a security measure used to protect data stored in storage devices or databases by encrypting it while it is not actively being used. This ensures that even if unauthorized individuals gain access to the storage media, they cannot access the data without the appropriate decryption keys or credentials. Key aspects of

End of Life (EOL) refers to the point in time when a software product, hardware device, or system component reaches the end of its official support and maintenance period from the manufacturer or vendor. When a product reaches its end of life, the vendor typically discontinues updates, patches, and security fixes for the product. This
