Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial neural networks are made up of interconnecting artificial neurons (programming constructs that mimic the properties of biological neurons). Artificial neural networks may either be used to gain an understanding of biological neural networks, or for solving artificial intelligence problems without necessarily creating a model of a real biological system.
Hardware Developmens
Developments in Hardware over time e.g. Computers and Television
Vision Systems
artificial Vision Systems (computer based systems where software performs tasks assimilable to "seeing", usually aimed to industrial quality assurance, part selection, defect detection etc).
Natural Language Processing
Natural-language-generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal-sounding human language. Natural-language-understanding systems convert samples of human language into more formal representations that are easier for computer programs to manipulate.
CDN
Content delivery network — A system consisting of multiple computers that contain copies of data, which are located in different places on the network so clients can access the copy closest to them
Architecture
In the context of IT systems, as opposed to buildings, "architecture" describes the approach to designing and constructing of systems, networks, applications or even information storage.
Black Hat

Believed to come originally from old Western movies, where the "bad guy" would often wear a black hat!
CISSP
Certified Information Systems Security Professional - an independent, internationally-recognised security certification, confirming that an individual has an understanding of a defined "Common Body of Knowledge" relating to Information Security.
Cold Site
A backup or secondary site (for reasons of Business Continuity or Disaster Recovery) that can be up and running to take over from a failed site (or system) in 1-2 days, usually by powering up secondary systems and restoring from the latest backup taken from the failed site or system.
Adware
Any advertising software which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used.
Key logger
Sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, it is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer's keyboard.

An address allocation method and routing scheme designed for the IP protocol to make more effective use of IP addresses.
Entropy.
A measure often used in data mining algorithms that measures the disorder of a set of data.
Countermeasure
A security measure implemented in order to mitigate an identified risk, or perhaps to maintain a baseline level of security
Binning
The process of breaking up continuous values into bins. Usually done as a preprocessing step for some data mining algorithms. For example breaking up age into bins for every ten years.
Crippleware
Any software (or service) that disables itself (or key functions) after a certain amount of time (perhaps after a 'trial' period), or until a fee is paid (e.g. an upgrade from a "Lite" version to the "Full" version).
CREST
Standing for the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers, this is one of two organisations in the UK (the other being TIGER that enable professionals in the security testing (or penetration testing) industry to prove their expertise, by paying to take theoretical examinations and practical tests.
CART
Classification and Regression Trees. A type of decision tree algorithm that automates the pruning process through cross validation and other techniques.
Cybercrime
criminal activity taking place through exploitation of electronic mechanisms
Cyber Attack
A technical attack against the Confidentiality, Integrity or Availability of systems, networks or telecommunications
