Glossary

  • MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) : Multi-factor authentication, a security method that requires multiple forms of verification before granting access to a system.
  • 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) : Two-factor authentication, a subset of MFA requiring two distinct verification methods to access a system.
  • Entra ID : An identification system used in Microsoft Azure cloud services, facilitating identity and access management.
  • Secured Link : A login factor sent by email and using security mechanisms, allowing a user to connect to a service without entering a password.
  • Entropy : A measure of the complexity and unpredictability of cryptographic keys or passwords.
  • JWT (JSON Web Token) : An open standard for creating access tokens that allow secure transmission of data between parties in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Primarily used for authentication and information exchange, JWT enables secure and efficient user identity verification.
  • Email Domain Filtering : Filtering based on the email domain, a technique used to allow or block emails from certain domains to control spam and phishing threats.
  • IP Filtering : IP address filtering, a security method that allows or blocks network traffic based on the origin or destination IP addresses to protect networks and resources.
  • Client Apps Filtering : Filtering of client applications, an access control technique that allows or restricts the use of certain applications on a network, often used to manage security and resource utilization.
  • LLM (Large Language Model) : A type of AI model that uses deep neural networks to understand and generate natural language text, trained on large text datasets.
  • ML (Machine Learning) : A branch of AI focused on developing algorithms that allow computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time.
  • ACM (Access Control Manager) : Microsoft's Entra ID component, which allows you to manage and apply access control policies, ensuring secure management of permissions and access rights to resources in Azure.
