Security Incidents

Security incidents refer to events that compromise the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of an organization’s information systems and data. These incidents can include unauthorized access to systems, data breaches, malware infections, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, insider threats, or any activities that violate security policies or protocols. Security incidents may result in data loss, financial damage, reputational harm, and legal consequences for organizations. Organizations often have incident response plans in place to detect, respond to, and mitigate the effects of such incidents, ensuring that vulnerabilities are managed and future occurrences are minimized. Overall, a security incident highlights a failure in security measures and necessitates immediate attention and remediation.
