What is a Cybersecurity Incident

A cybersecurity incident is an event that threatens the security of information systems, services, or electronic communication networks. It may involve breaches of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data.

Cybersecurity incidents can be categorized into several types:

  • Malware: Malicious software, such as viruses, trojans, or ransomware, that can damage or exploit a system.
  • Phishing: Attempts to obtain sensitive information, such as passwords or financial data, through fraudulent emails or websites.
  • Data Breach: Unauthorized acquisition or disclosure of sensitive information.
  • Social Engineering: Manipulating people into performing actions or divulging information that can be exploited.
  • DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial of Service attacks that overwhelm a system, making it unable to function normally.
