 ### CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)

 CORS is a security mechanism that allows a web page from one domain to request resources (like APIs) from a different domain, which is normally prohibited by web browsers' same-origin policy.

### Cloud Backup

 Cloud backup is a service that automatically copies data from a device or system to secure, remote cloud storage for safekeeping and easy recovery.

### Data Encryption

 Data encryption is the process of converting information into a code to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.

### HTTPS

 HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an extension of HTTP that uses SSL/TLS for secure communication over a computer network.

### OAuth

 OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, commonly used as a way for internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites but without giving them the passwords.

### SSL/TLS

 SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication over a computer network.

### Secure File Transfer

 Secure file transfer refers to the transmission of files through a secure method that protects the content from unauthorized access or interception during the transfer process.

### Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

 Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to provide two different authentication factors to verify their identity, enhancing the security of online accounts.
