Description: A security incident is an event that compromises the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information. These incidents can manifest in various forms, including cyberattacks, data breaches, malware, and unauthorized access. Detecting and responding to these incidents is crucial for protecting an organization’s information assets. A security incident can have severe consequences, including the loss of sensitive data, damage to the organization’s reputation, and legal penalties. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to implement robust security policies and maintain constant vigilance to identify and mitigate these risks. Security incident management involves not only identifying and containing the event but also recovering and learning afterward to prevent future incidents. Tools and technologies, such as security monitoring systems, antivirus solutions, and identity management frameworks, play a fundamental role in detecting and responding to these incidents, helping organizations protect their information and maintain customer trust.
