What is change management?
A computing environment where multiple independent operating systems can be installed to a single hardware platform and run simultaneously.
What is virtualization?
A wireless network authentication mode where the access point acts as pass-through for credentials that are verified by an AAA server.
What is enterprise authentication?
A scheme for identifying vulnerabilities developed by MITRE and adopted by NIST.
What is Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)?
A private network segment made available to a single cloud consumer on a public cloud.
What is a virtual private cloud (VPC)?
Endpoint protection that can detect and prevent malicious activity via signature and heuristic pattern matching.
What is host-based intrusion prevention (HIPS)?
Provisioning virtual network appliances, such as switches, routers, and firewalls, via VMs and containers.
What is network functions virtualization (NFV)?
Standards for authenticating and encrypting access to Wi-Fi networks.
