Cyber Incident
A cyber incident refers to any event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information systems or data. This can include activities such as unauthorized access, data breaches, or malware attacks. Organizations often respond to these incidents to mitigate damage and protect sensitive information.
These incidents can affect individuals, businesses, and governments alike, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. Common examples include phishing attacks, where attackers trick users into revealing personal information, and ransomware attacks, where data is held hostage until a ransom is paid. Organizations often implement cybersecurity measures to prevent such incidents.
