(MANAGING CLOUD SECURITY (WGU)
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
A process that assesses and identifies the potential effects of
disruptions to a business operation.
Blockchain
A distributed, immutable ledger. A data store that nobody can
tamper with or destroy.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
Monitors and controls industrial processes.
Containers
Lightweight, portable, and isolated environments that package
and run applications along with their dependencies.
Quantum computing
A technology that applies the principles of quantum physics
and quantum mechanics to computers to direct atoms or
nuclei to work together as quantum bits (qubits), which
function simultaneously as the computer's processor and
memory.

Edge Computing
Method of optimizing cloud computing systems by
performing some data processing on a set of linked servers at
the edge of the network, near the source of the data.
Fog Computing
A decentralized computing infrastructure or process in which
computing resources are located between the data source and
the cloud or any other data center.
Confidential Computing
A system that protects data in use by performing computation
in a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment.
Trusted Execution Environment
A secure area within a computer or a device's hardware that
provides a safe and isolated space for running sensitive and
critical processes.

DevOps
A set of practices that combines software development and IT
operations to enhance collaboration and automate processes,
aiming for more efficient and reliable software delivery.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
A concept in which infrastructure is managed and provisioned
through code, using a descriptive language. This allows
automated, repeatable deployment and configuration of
infrastructure elements, such as servers and networks, making
it easier to manage and scale IT environments.
DevSecOps
Applies DevOps techniques to a cybersecurity program.
Hypervisor
What does not need to exist in a containerized computing
environment?
