Offensive security assessments

Microsoft Access Terminology

We validate this area during scoped assessments, documenting impact and remediation guidance.

Why it matters

- MDE: A compiled Microsoft Access database file format that locks down the design. - MDI: A user interface style allowing multiple documents within a single window. - MDE Security: Provides limited security by preventing users from viewing or editing database design in Access. - MDI Security: No direct security feature; it's just a UI style, but security depends on the app's design and user permissions. - EDR: A cybersecurity solution that monitors, detects, and responds to threats on endpoints in real time. - AV (Antivirus): Software designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software (viruses, malware) from a computer or device.
