Introduction to CNM Cyber (hereinafter, the Session) is a learning session introducing its participants to CNM Cyber. The Session consists of three lessons, each of which is made of three to five lesson parts, called lectios. Every lectio includes a presentation and a quiz. The official version of the Session is published at CNM Cert. Its materials are also published at CNM Page, CNM Page, CNM Wiki, and various channels for marketing and convenience purposes.
The Session is the first of four sessions of the CNM Cyber Welcome Course.

- Cloud. In informational technology, a shared pool of configurable computing resources (both hardware and software, e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that are located at a remote physical location managed by an Internet hosting provider or a vendor rather than on the client's premises.
- Public cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use by the general public. It may be owned, managed, and operated by a business, academic, or government organization, or some combination of them. It exists on the premises of the cloud provider.
- Private cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units). It may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises.
- Hybrid cloud. The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities, but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds).
- CNM app. One or more inter-related end-user applications of the CNM Cloud that can be delivered as a standalone service.

Another server, the CNM Next Server, hosts the set of CNM apps that is identical to Fellow Server's set. The difference is that Fellow Server's apps are used for career services, while Next Server's ones are used for hands-on training.
- Internet. The largest network of interconnected computing devices that use the Internet protocol suite, TCP/IP, to link the devices globally.
- Mobile app (mobile application or, simply, an app) is an end-user application that is designed to run on a mobile device. Mobile apps often stand in contrast to web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device. Mobile apps often refer those applications as web versions.
- World Wide Web (WWW, www). The part of the Internet that contains inter-linked hypertext documents, especially webpages, and web applications. The web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and accessible via the web browsers. The other parts of the Internet include email, VoIP telephony, and file exchange.
- Web browser. Any end-user application that allows for browsing web documents published at the World Wide Web. To request the Browser display some website, a user enters into the Browser the website's hostname. Then, the Browser utilizes DNS to locate the sought website in the World Wide Web and to get its landing page's web document in order to display this webpage in the Browser.
- URL. The acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. A reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. URLs consist of two mandatory fields, (a) type of resource such as
httpsfor webpages,ftpsfor file transfers,mailtofor emails, etc., and (b) hostname, as well as of optional (c) one or more submomains and (d) a file name, if any. - Web search engine (Internet search engine). A software system that is designed to search the World Wide Web for particular information specified in a textual web search query.
- URL. The acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. A reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. URLs consist of two mandatory fields, (a) type of resource such as
- Website. A collection of webpages that are located at the same hostname.
- Landing page. A single webpage that welcomes a visitor to the website to which the Page belongs. The Page casually returns in response to user's clicking on a search result delivered by a web search engine, marketing promotion, marketing email, or an online advertisement, as well as typing the website's hostname into web browser's address bar.
- DNS. The acronym for Domain Name System. Originally created for name mapping, DNS today also defines technical settings for its core mapping service. In addition, DNS is used to set up functionality for the emails using DNS record such as MX and TXT records.
- Hostname (domain name). A humanly readable label or alias that is assigned to a particular IP address or another identification for a host device that is a part of the Internet or another computing network.
- Subdomain (local hostname). In the DNS, a domain that is a part of another domain.
Digital Transformations

- CNM Agile. A product development framework that represents an adaption of the Agile methodology to the learning and testing needs of the CNM Cyber Team.
- Project management. Practice and a set of concepts that are based on that practice that define culture of managing of projects from the moment when the project manager is authorized and up to the project closing. Project management aims to achieve specific goals and to meet specific success criteria.

- Agile methodology. A product development framework that is based on development of deliverable increments in frequent iterations based on evolving requirements.
- Development hub. A center of development in which two or more developing parties work on one or more deliverables.
- Document. A single piece of data that represents one or more ideas, changes, processes, products, and/or systems. Those documents that are created to be used by people include bills of sale, books, instructions, memos, messages, national constitutions, passports, wikipages, written articles, etc. In information technology, a document can be a computer file or a system document such as a database record. Web browsers use web documents to display webpages, etc.
- Computer file (digital file). Any document that is created as a computer resource and is stored discretely in a computing device.
- Software. One or more computer files that present the data and programs that make the computing device produce specified results.
- Requirement. An expressed demand, desire, expectation, and/or wish to have or not to have a certain product and/or a certain capability, condition, feature, and/or property.

- Product epic. A detailed description of a proposed product that is designed to make its potential consumer understand what this product shall do. At CNM Cyber, the Epic is any wikipage that describes a desired product.
- User story. A brief description of a solution requirement to a desired system that is written from the point of view of a customer or end-user of this system. In other words, the story is a high-level, informal, brief, non-technical description of a solution capability that provides value to its stakeholder. The story is typically one or two sentences long and provides the minimum information necessary to allow a developer to estimate the work required to implement it.
In order to ..., as a ..., I need to ...or, using another format,In order to [achieve some goal], as a [type of user], I need to [perform some task or execute some function]is a generic example of the story.

- Single source of truth (SSOT). Either (a) a document which trustfulness is higher that the one of any other document or (b) a database that represents such documents. The concept of SSOT ensures that everyone in an organization bases enterprise decisions on the same data. If some data or document evolves over the time, the SSOT is the practice of working on that data or document in only one place. In database architecture, the SSOT is a model of using a master or federated database as the primary location to propagate any change to the entire system automatically.
- CNM Talk. The webconferencing system of CNM Cyber that, when it is launched, shall be delivered to its end-users as a service.

- Webconferencing. A service that allows conferencing events to be shared with remote locations over the Internet. This service usually makes possible an audio or audiovisual meeting between two or more participants in different locations using webconferencing software.
- Webconferencing software. Webconferencing software is software that supports webconferencing, including just audio conferencing and audiovisual conferencing conducted over the Internet.
- Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS). A products that is commercially available and can be purchased "as is".
CNM Cyber for Competence is the successor session.
