A reverse proxy is an application that sits between the client (your users) and your origin servers and receives and responds to requests on your behalf.

Time to live (TTL) is the amount of time a specific object will remain in a CDN’s cache.

Understand the common challenges in implementing application observability and tips on making implementation either.

Learn more about Edge AI, discover its benefits, and see its impact across industries.

Edge computing is computational processing at the edge of the network, at or near the source of the data, instead of processing within a centralized infrastructure.

Key-value stores are a type of specialized NOSQL database that allow you to store data in the form of key-value pairs instead of in a table-based structure. It is also referred to in computer science as an “associative array” or “dictionary”.

A DDoS botnets is a group or network of compromised computers or Internet of Things (IoT) devices used by malicious actors to launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

Learn about key differences between a WAF and a firewall: benefits, capabilities and when to use them.

Learn about key capabilities and features to look for when accessing a WAF solution.

Ransomware is a malware designed to prevent users from accessing files in their systems until they pay a ransom. Cybercriminals restrict access to data by encrypting it and only provide a decryption key after receiving payment.

Traffic bots are software programs that can carry out automated interactions with websites. They can undertake helpful functions, such as monitoring site performance, or engage in malicious behaviors, like launching cyberattacks.

A bot network, better known as a botnet, is a cluster of internet-connected devices secretly compromised and controlled by cybercriminals who use them to execute large-scale attacks, steal data, and manipulate digital systems.

A brute force attack is a cyberattack where a hacker uses software to systematically test different password combinations to gain access to an account without authorization.

Credential stuffing is a type of cyberattack where stolen usernames and passwords are used to gain unauthorized access to multiple websites.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a software standard developed by Microsoft that allows users to connect to and use another computer remotely.

In machine learning (ML), AI systems are trained on vast amounts of data to develop statistical models and algorithms. “Learning” is the algorithm’s ability to adjust its models based on new data, becoming more accurate and efficient over time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems. This includes performing tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and perception.

An LLM (Large language model) is a sophisticated AI language model system designed to comprehend and produce human-like text by analyzing enormous amounts of language data.
