Cybersecurity Glossary

One Language for Modern Cybersecurity Operations

Cybersecurity has its own language, and that language continues to expand as security operations, managed services, cloud platforms, automation, and AI become more interconnected.

The Compuquip Cybersecurity Glossary is designed to create a common vocabulary for the terms that shape modern security operations. From Managed SOC, MDR, SIEM, XDR, and incident response to threat intelligence, vulnerability management, Zero Trust, AI SOC agents, and security orchestration, each definition explains not only what a term means, but where it fits within a working cybersecurity program.

Our goal is simple: help security leaders, IT teams, practitioners, and business stakeholders speak the same language.

Use the glossary to clarify unfamiliar terminology, understand how technologies and services relate to one another, evaluate managed cybersecurity options more effectively, and build a clearer picture of how people, processes, and technology work together to reduce risk.

As cybersecurity operations evolve, so will this glossary. We will continue expanding it with the terminology shaping Managed SOC operations, managed security services, AI-enabled security workflows, threat detection and response, cloud security, identity, vulnerability management, and the broader cybersecurity ecosystem.
