A Blocklist is a cybersecurity tool used to protect websites from malicious actors. It works by blocking access to sites that have been identified as potential threats, keeping them from accessing sensitive data and compromising the security of users. By using an Blocklist/Blacklist, businesses can proactively guard against attackers and keep their networks safe. It's designed for easy setup and use, allowing for quick and secure protection of customer data.

A DoS attack (Denial of Service attack) is a malicious cyberattack intended to overwhelm a system with requests, making it unavailable for legitimate users. It is used to disrupt services and cause denial of access to resources, like websites or apps. It exploits vulnerabilities in networks or software to flood the system with requests or data packets, using up its resources and making it unresponsive. Companies must be aware and have strategies in place to stop such attacks as they can lead to significant losses in revenue and reputation.

An identity provider (IdP or IDP) stores and manages users’ digital identities. Think of an IdP as being like a guest list, but for digital and cloud-hosted applications instead of an event. An IdP may check user identities via username-password combinations and other factors, or it may simply provide a list of user identities that another service provider (like an SSO) checks.

Device Permissions are settings that allow a user to control which applications or programs can access data on their device. They give users full control over how their device is used and also help protect private information from theft or misuse. Device permissions allow users to grant or deny access to specific functions, like camera and location services, ensuring that only trusted applications can access sensitive information. By enabling these settings, users can protect their online security and privacy.

An API Key is like a digital keycard that some websites or apps give to others. It's a special code that allows them to use certain features or get information, sort of like a backstage pass for computer programs.
