infosec glossary miessler 2020

I’ve been writing about Information Security for around 20 years now, and I’ve written a lot about the definitions of various terms. A number of people have asked me to assemble those definitions into a single location, and that’s what we’ve done below.

These terms are active works in progress, so if you can improve them please let me know >.

Each term has a link to more discussion around each definition.

                                               

supporting = loving

Since 1999 I've been creating ad-free technical tutorials and essays here. It's a one-person effort that's also my life and livelihood. If it makes your day more livable in any way, please consider supporting the work with a monthly or one-time donation. Your support means a lot to me, and makes all the difference. 🫶🏼
