SearchSecurity, January 25th, 2023
Common security threats range from insider threats to advanced persistent threats, and they can bring an organization to its knees unless its in-house security team is aware of them and ready to respond.
Although the terms security threat, security event and security incident are related, in the world of cybersecurity these information security threats have different meanings.
A security threat is a malicious act that aims to corrupt or steal data or disrupt an organization's systems or the entire organization. A security event refers to an occurrence during which company data or its network may have been exposed. And an event that results in a data or network breach is called a security incident.
