Description: The ‘Potential Threat’ refers to any possible danger that could exploit a vulnerability in a system. In the context of cybersecurity, this threat can manifest in various forms, including cyberattacks, malware, or unauthorized access. Identifying potential threats is crucial for cybersecurity, as it allows organizations to anticipate possible security incidents and take proactive measures to mitigate risks. Potential threats can be classified into several categories, such as internal threats, which come from employees or collaborators, and external threats, which are originated by malicious actors outside the organization. Assessing these threats involves continuous analysis of system vulnerabilities, as well as implementing appropriate security controls. The ability of cybersecurity systems to detect and respond to potential threats is fundamental to protecting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information in an increasingly complex and hostile digital environment.
