What Does That Mean?

If you're not a computer, networking, or security guru, you might find a number of terms and acronyms perplexing. Just trying to read basic information you might come across TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, IDS, ISP, P2P, IM, etc., etc.. The world of computer technology is second only to the government / military when it comes to creating confusing terms and meaningless jumbles of letters to make things "easier". If you come across a term that you aren't familiar with, check out the Network Security Glossary to find a definition or explanation. If you are confused by a term that is not in the glossary, send me an email and let me know so I can get it added to the Glossary.
