Threat assessment is the structured process of identifying credible threats, attack paths, and potential impact to prioritize security actions.

A threat actor is an individual or group that conducts malicious cyber activity to compromise systems, data, or users.

Cybersecurity reconnaissance is the first attack stage where attackers gather information about systems, users, and assets to identify attack paths before exploitation.

A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) is a security control that enforces visibility, data protection, and compliance across cloud services.
