Tech Glossary

In an age where we have both Google and Wikipedia it may seem redundant to add a listing of Internet, technology, and security terms and definitions, but we’re doing it anyway. Below is a semi-comprehensive list of definitions of tech, Internet, network, and security terms and acronyms.

If there are any terms, concepts, or acronyms you’re curious about that aren’t on this list feel free to give us a heads up via email at info@techspective.net.

Tony Bradley

Editor-in-Chief at TechSpective

I have a passion for technology and gadgets--with a focus on Microsoft and security--and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 4 dogs, 7 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either. You can contact me directly at tony@xpective.net. For more from me, you can follow me on Threads, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
