Cybersecurity Incident
A cybersecurity incident refers to any event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information systems. This can include unauthorized access to data, malware infections, or denial-of-service attacks. Organizations must respond quickly to mitigate damage and protect sensitive information.
To manage a cybersecurity incident, organizations often follow an incident response plan. This plan outlines steps for identifying, containing, and recovering from the incident. Key components include communication with stakeholders, forensic analysis, and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences. Effective incident response is crucial for maintaining trust and security in the digital environment.
