A secure enclave is a hardware-based security feature that provides a secure environment for sensitive data and operations. It is designed to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access even if the rest of the system is compromised. Secure enclaves are commonly found in modern mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and are used to protect sensitive information such as b
Also known as "least user privilege," this is a security principle implemented into access policy which states that a user or system process should only have the minimum level of access necessary to perform its intended functions. The idea behind least privilege is to reduce the risk of security breaches by limiting the damage that can be done by an attacker or by a malicious or malfunctioning pro
In cybersecurity, a perimeter refers to a defined boundary or edge around an IT system or network that separates it from the untrusted external environment. The purpose of a perimeter is to provide a first line of defense against unauthorized access, malware, and other security threats. The perimeter is typically secured using a combination of technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection sy
A context-aware proxy is a type of proxy server that uses contextual information about the user, device, and request to make informed access control decisions. This type of proxy server integrates multiple security and network functions, including firewall, VPN , and intrusion detection, into a single, unified platform. The context-aware proxy uses information such as the user's identity, location
Zero trust is a cybersecurity model that assumes that all users and devices within a network are potential threats, regardless of their location or whether they have been granted access to the network in the past. The goal of zero trust is to prevent data breaches, cyber attacks, and other security incidents by implementing strict access controls that are based on continuous monitoring and authent
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) refers to a category of products or services combining zero trust architecture with network-level access control to grant access based on identity and certain forms of context . Gartner's definition make it sound similar to Cloud Access Security Brokers and Identity and Access Management tools. Zero trust is a security concept that assumes that no entity, inside or
