CND (Computer Network Defense)

A Cyber Defense Network (CND) is a security system that protects a network from cyberattacks and security breaches. It involves setting up a security perimeter, internal security requirements, and testing the security policy for vulnerabilities.

CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)

MITRE operates an online database of attacks, exploits, and compromises for the public benefit. It contains all known attacks and abuses for any type of computer system or software product, often documented in a CVE before vendors release updates or patches to resolve the issues.

Ciphertext

The unintelligible and seeming random form of data that is produced by the cryptographic function of encryption. Ciphertext is produced by a symmetric algorithm when a data set is transformed by the encryption process using a selected key. Ciphertext can converted back into its original form (i.e. plain text) by performing the decryption process using the same symmetric encryption algorithm and the key used during the encryption process. (Also known as cryptogram.)

Clickjacking

Clickjacking is a malicious technique where a victim is tricked into clicking on an object other than intended. It can be done by loading a web page transparently behind another visible page, causing the user to click on a hidden link.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services through remote servers. These services can include software applications, custom code hosting, and full system replacements. Cloud computing is typically provided by a third-party and can be public, private, or a hybrid of both.
