I
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - A device or software application that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations.
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) - A network security/threat prevention technology that examines network traffic flows to detect and prevent vulnerability exploits.
K
Key Management - The administration and control of cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem, including generation, exchange, storage, use, and replacement.
Key Rotation - The process of periodically changing cryptographic keys to limit the amount of data protected by a single key.
