A sandbox is a controlled environment, typically provided by software or hardware, where programs, applications, or processes can run securely and separately from the rest of the system. The purpose of a sandbox is to isolate potentially harmful or untrusted code from the underlying operating system and other software components, thereby preventing it from causing […]
Sandboxing is a security mechanism used in computer systems to isolate and execute potentially malicious software in a restricted environment, separate from the rest of the system. The purpose of sandboxing is to analyze the behavior of suspicious programs or code without risking damage to the host system or network. In a sandbox environment, the
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is a United States federal law passed by Congress in 2002 in response to a series of corporate accounting scandals, most notably the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Named after its sponsors, Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael Oxley, SOX aims to improve corporate governance, enhance financial transparency, and restore investor confidence

Secure Boot is a security feature implemented in modern computer systems, including PCs, servers, and embedded devices, to ensure that only trusted and authorized software components are loaded and executed during the system boot process. Secure Boot helps protect against malware, rootkits, and unauthorized operating systems by verifying the integrity and authenticity of boot firmware,
Secure coding practices refer to a set of principles, guidelines, and techniques used by software developers to write code that is resistant to security vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks. Secure coding practices aim to minimize the risk of security breaches, data leaks, and system compromises by integrating security considerations into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and

Secure Communication refers to the exchange of information between parties in a way that ensures confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and availability of the transmitted data. It involves using cryptographic techniques and security protocols to protect data as it is transmitted over networks, preventing unauthorized access, interception, tampering, or eavesdropping by malicious actors. Key aspects of Secure

A secure enclave refers to a protected and isolated area within a computing system, such as a processor or a hardware component, that is specifically designed to store and process sensitive information securely. Secure enclaves provide a trusted execution environment (TEE) that is isolated from the rest of the system, including the operating system and
Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol that provides secure communication and data transfer over unsecured networks, such as the internet. SSH is commonly used for remote access to systems, secure file transfer, and command execution on remote computers and servers. It establishes a secure and encrypted connection between a client and a server,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol used to establish a secure and encrypted communication channel between a client (such as a web browser) and a server (such as a website). SSL ensures that data transmitted between the client and server is protected from eavesdropping, tampering, or interception by unauthorized parties. The SSL protocol

A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is a security solution designed to protect users and devices within an organization from web-based threats and enforce security policies for internet traffic. SWGs serve as intermediaries between users and the internet, inspecting web traffic in real-time to identify and block malicious content, websites, and applications while allowing legitimate traffic
