ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access)

Location permissions enable a user to give an application access to their device's location data. This can be granted when the app is installed, and it will allow the app to detect the user’s position or track their movements. Location permissions are important for many applications, such as mapping apps or delivery services, but they can also be used maliciously by hackers to exploit users’ personal information. Cyber security measures should always include checking what access is granted to applications with location permissions, as well as monitoring how this data is being used.

A CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) is a security solution that helps protect data stored in cloud services. It monitors and enforces policies to ensure the safety of any data going in, out and within cloud applications. By using machine learning and analytics, it detects risky behavior and blocks suspicious activities. This provides an extra layer of protection, allowing businesses to maintain compliance while providing secure access to cloud applications. With a CASB, you can control who accesses your apps, what they can do with them and when they can do it from anywhere.

Public keys are cryptographic keys used in cybersecurity to provide secure communication. It is a form of asymmetric cryptography, meaning that two different keys are used: one for encryption (public key) and one for decryption (private key). The public key is shared publicly and can be used to encrypt messages or data. The private key must remain a secret and is then used to decrypt the encrypted message or data. Public keys help ensure that only the intended recipient can read the message, as only they possess the private key needed to decrypt it. In cyber security, public keys are often used to authenticate users or encrypt communications between parties.

Open ports are network entry points that allow external devices to connect through the Internet. They can be found on computers, servers, and other connected devices. Open ports are used for a variety of purposes, including remote access, data transfer, and online applications. For example, web browsers use open ports to send and receive requests from websites. In terms of cyber security, open ports can create vulnerabilities if not monitored or locked down properly. Attackers can exploit an open port to gain unauthorized access or launch malicious attacks - potentially leading to data theft or damage to systems. To prevent such threats, organizations must ensure they maintain tight control over their open ports and regularly update their systems with the latest security patches. By following these practices, companies can reduce the risk of attack and protect their data from malicious actors.

Faas means Firewall as a Service. You can use the firewall as a hardware appliance (physical computer in your network), as a virtual appliance (still a computer, but it's running in the cloud), or you can pay for a firewall as a service. It means you are not responsible for the firewall itself. Instead, your provider is making sure it's running and secure; you are just specifying what it should be doing. An example is Azure Firewall.
