  2. What Are Security Incidents? Definition: Any attempted or successful unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information or interference with system operations. Why Classification Matters: Efficient Incident Response and Management depends on early detection and categorization of incidents. Examples: ● Unauthorized access ● Malware infections ● Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks ● Data breaches

  3. Classification of Security Incidents 1. By Intent: ● Malicious (e.g., hacking, ransomware) ● Accidental (e.g., employee error, misconfigured systems) 2. By Impact: ● Low: Minor data loss or disruption ● Medium: Affects multiple systems, some downtime ● High: Significant data loss, reputation damage, legal impact 3. By Source: ● Internal Threats: Employees, contractors ● External Threats: Hackers, competitors

  4. Why Classification Supports IR Success Faster Containment: Knowing the type enables faster mitigation. Efficient Allocation of Resources: High-impact incidents get prioritized. Improved Reporting & Compliance: Clear classifications aid legal and regulatory documentation. Enhanced Incident Response and Management outcomes: Classification streamlines detection, containment, eradication, and recovery stages.
