Why it's on this site

I put this together because cybersecurity vocabulary is one of those things where you nod along in meetings until someone says "the CIA triad" and you realise you've never actually looked it up properly. Each term gets the plain-word twin next to it on purpose — the goal was a glossary you could scan in ten minutes before an interview, not a textbook. Most useful if you're moving into security from another QA or dev background and need the vocabulary fast. Less useful if you already work in security day to day — you'll know most of this already.
