SOURCES FOR THE “DICTIONARY OF DIGITAL BUSINESS

Definitions in the Dictionary of Digital Business are drawn from a variety of sources including: Axelos (ITIL, PRINCE2, AgileSHIFT), The Project Management Institute (PMI’s PMBoK Guide), the Digital Practitioner Body of Knowledge (DPBoK), the Agile Alliance, Barron’s Dictionary of Business Terms, Wikipedia, various online digital marketing dictionaries, Internet sources, and several subject matter experts. In selecting definitions, there was a strong preference for using authoritative sources and commonly-agreed upon meanings. In some cases, definitions are abbreviated, explained in more detail, or paraphrased (hopefully without losing the original meaning). In cases where there was no consistent or commonly agreed-upon definition or when no definition at all exists, I crafted the best definition I could muster. Indeed, I may have even coined a few words.

All words have a certain atmosphere. For many common words, a commonplace definition suffices for general comprehension. A mariner could better explain the difference between a boat and a vessel and a ship, but we all get the point that water is involved, and life vests are a good idea. More than the definition, context helps a lot. When a word is used often enough and with enough consequence it undergoes a transformation into a topic or domain, and in addition to atmosphere it acquires a certain gravity. At this point, a free-for-all approach to word usage goes beyond inappropriate; it actually gets in the way. Standardization is the solution.
Terminology Confusion Online

A germane and useful example can be found in the words digitize and digitalize. Both Merriam-Webster and Cambridge Dictionaries define digitize as something along the lines of:

To convert data (photographs, sound, printed text) into a form that can be processed by computers. To start to use digital technology.

In both cases, they list digitalize as a synonym and use an identical definition. Similarly, DPBoK defines digitize thus:

The conversion of analog information into digital form.

However, DPBoK defines digitalize in a different way:

The application of digital technology to create additional business value within the primary value chain of enterprises.

DDoS Attack Mean for My Security?

You need to prepare and plan to manage a DDoS attack against your systems. You need to monitor, generate alerts, and quickly diagnose a DDoS attack in progress. The next step is shutting down the attack quickly without affecting your users. You can block the IP addresses using your Next-Gen Firewall, or close inbound traffic to the targeted system and failover to a backup. There are other response plans you can implement, make sure to have one. Some CDNs, like Cloudflare, also act as a reverse proxy which can further protect your WordPress site from DDoS attacks. An HTTP Flood attack, for example, is an application layer attack that targets a web server on the target and uses many fast HTTP requests to bring the server down. Think of it as pressing the refresh button in rapid-fire mode on your game controller. That kind of traffic from many thousands of computers at once will quickly drown the webserver. Who should consider using a CDN: Most websites can benefit from integrating a CDN

Profiling Hackers in the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator

Using the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator or similar tools, organizations can categorize attacks by specific threat groups and threat actors. It is even possible to profile the technologies and the procedures attackers use. In short, you will have a strong idea of the next move your opponents are going to make. Notice that each of the technologies is categorized into a version of the hacker lifecycle. The top of the page reads Initial access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation and so forth. These are the general steps that attackers take as they compromise a network. The MITRE ATT&CK Navigator then allows you to profile specific attack groups. Each group profiles an actual group of cyberattackers. Using this model, you can quickly identify how each group operates. Going back to my baseball analogy, imagine if you knew that a group of pitchers behaved a certain way. Now, you can profile that behavior and train your batters to best address how those pitchers are trying to defea

The Importance of Post-Attack Analysis

Comprehensive visibility into an organization’s network activity is essential not only to quickly combat DDoS threats, but also to enable compliance reporting and archive security event data that enables security audits and forensic analysis of past threats. Organizations can learn from past attacks to uncover hidden patterns of data and identify emerging vulnerabilities within the massive streams of security event data Without this level of visibility, it is impossible to determine how effectively an attack was mitigated and whether there were any false-positives which led to collateral damage that substantiates any service level agreement (SLA) claims. For over a decade, Corero has been providing state-of-the-art, highly-effective, automatic DDoS protection solutions for enterprise, hosting and service provider customers around the world. Our SmartWall®  DDoS mitigation solutions  protect on-premise, cloud, virtual and hybrid environments.   Moreover, cloud-based DDoS defenses a
