A cyber incident is any event that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of computer systems, networks, or digital data. This can include unauthorized access, data breaches, malware infections, or disruptions caused by cyberattacks. Cyber incidents can result in the loss or theft of sensitive information, interruption of business operations, or damage to digital assets. Organizations respond to cyber incidents by investigating the cause, containing the threat, and taking steps to prevent future occurrences. Recognizing and managing cyber incidents is essential for protecting information and maintaining trust in digital environments.
