ITIL Managing Across the Lifecycle (MALC) by AXELOS

A software used or created by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems. It can appear in the form of code, scripts, active content, and other software, and includes viruses etc.

Malware Analysis is the study of a malware by dissecting its different components and studying its behavior on the host computer's operating system. Static analysis gives an approximate picture at best. It is impossible to fully predict the behavior of all but the smallest programs. Static analysis has the advantage that it can reveal how a program would behave under unusual conditions, because we can examine parts of a program that normally do not execute. With dynamic analysis, we study a program as it executes. Here, tools of the trade are debuggers, function call tracers, machine emulators, logic analyzers, and network sniffers. The advantage of dynamic analysis is that it can be fast and accurate. However, dynamic analysis has the disadvantage that "what you see is all you get". For the same reason that it is not possible to predict the behavior of a non-trivial program, it is also not possible to make a non-trivial program traverse all paths through its code.

Mobile application management (MAM) describes software and services responsible for provisioning and controlling access to internally developed and commercially available mobile apps used in business settings on both company-provided and “bring your own” smartphones and tablet computers.

A magnetic tape and drive system used for computer data storage and archiving. The tapes measure eight millimeters (8 mm) across. A helical scanning technique is used to optimize the data transfer and storage rates.

An exploit in which an intruder intercepts communications between two parties, usually an end user and a website. The attacker can use the information accessed to commit identity theft or other types of fraud.

An attack method that allows an intruder to access sensitive information by intercepting and altering communications between the user of a public network and any requested website.  

Administration of a project or organization to achieve a business objective in the face of various types of constraints.

In the Java programming language, an MBean (managed bean) is a Java object that represents a manageable resource, such as an application, a service, a component, or a device.  

Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a component of .NET Framework 4.0 aiming to create lightweight, extensible applications. It allows application developers to discover and use extensions with no configuration required.

A type of software used to provide secure internal, external and ad-hoc data transfers through a network. MFT products are built using the FTP network protocol. 

The hosting plan that are administered by the web hosting service provider.
