The «how» of cybersecurity, explained

We explain how each capability of the platform works underneath: what problem it solves, why it is done that way and what changes when the context travels attached to the data. No smoke, and no untranslated acronyms.

Glossary

The acronyms, translated

The terms that appear across the rest of the site, defined in one line. Taken from the platform's functional catalogue.

CVE
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. The public, unique identifier of a specific vulnerability, and the name the whole industry uses for it.
CVSS
The standard scoring system for a vulnerability's criticality, in versions 3.1 and 4.0. It measures severity in the abstract, not the risk it poses to your organisation.
CPE
Common Platform Enumeration. The standard platform identifier: the vocabulary used to match vulnerabilities to assets.
SBOM
Software Bill of Materials. An inventory of the installed software and the components it is built from. It is what tells you whether a CVE in a library affects you.
CBOM
Cryptographic Bill of Materials. An inventory of the cryptographic algorithms and keys the organisation uses.
RMM
Remote Monitoring and Management. On the platform, the inventory of devices and their status.
SOC
Security Operations Centre. The team and the set of tools that watch the organisation continuously to detect and respond to incidents.
Threat hunting
The proactive search for threats that have slipped past the automatic defences. It starts from hypotheses instead of waiting for an alert to fire.
Defacement
An unauthorised change to the content of a website.
Takedown
The process of removing malicious infrastructure that impersonates the organisation: a domain, a cloned site, a fake profile.
Typosquatting
Registering a domain that mimics the legitimate one with a letter changed, to catch whoever mistypes or does not look closely.
Kill chain
The seven phases of an attack, from reconnaissance through to impact.
MTTR
Mean Time To Respond. The average time to respond to an incident.
ENS
Esquema Nacional de Seguridad, Spain's National Security Framework. Regulated by Royal Decree 311/2022, it sets the cybersecurity requirements for the Spanish public sector and its suppliers, in three categories: basic, medium and high.
vCISO
Virtual Chief Information Security Officer. The security leadership layer —risks, priorities, roadmap— without needing a full-time post.
Agent
Software deployed on an endpoint that reports its inventory and status to the platform.
Q-Day
The day quantum computing breaks today's asymmetric cryptography. It is the reason the cryptographic inventory (CBOM) exists.
