Cyber Glossary
Aaah, cybersecurity! A sector with a bright future, where acronyms and technical terms are piling up faster than spam in our inboxes.
he aim of this glossary was simple: to shed light on this linguistic jungle for insiders and neophytes alike (we count ourselves in, rest assured).
It all began in 2020, when time stood still. So there's no excuse not to write this glossary!
Watching the exchanges, I realized just how intimidating jargon can be. You know that feeling of panic when someone starts talking about APT, DNS, zero-day, EDR, BYOD or BYOB? Sorry, that last one doesn't exist, it was too tempting... But bring your beer anyway !
In short, we feel like François Damiens in OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, the famous scene where everyone has their little quote to show who's the smartest, but only he understands nothing of the exchange. It was time to put an end to this incomprehensible gibberish!
Inspired by the huge success of Les Assises, this glossary has become our compass, navigating through the obscure terms of cybersecurity. Les Assises, this flagship event, is the ideal place to unveil this glossary. After all, why not associate cybersecurity experts with a tool that helps them communicate better? There's also a quiz to test yourself!
So go for it, and let's not forget the funny moments when, in the middle of a serious discussion, someone drops a “honeypot” or an “Evil Maid Attack”. Admit it, it makes you smile!
So yes, this glossary is a bit like our silent superhero. Always ready to save the day in complex discussions, and to transform barbaric terms into clear concepts. By consulting it, you'll see that even the most dreaded terms can become your allies. On the road to cybersecurity for everyone!
