A cyber incident refers to any event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital information or systems. 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 data. Common types of cyber incidents include phishing attacks, where attackers trick individuals into revealing personal information, and ransomware attacks, which involve encrypting data and demanding payment for its release. Effective incident response plans are essential for organizations to quickly address and recover from these threats.
