Security System Incident Event

A Security System Incident Event is a security-related system incident event that disrupts security system configurations.

• AKA: Security Incident, Security Breach Event, Security System Failure, Security Configuration Incident.
• Context:
  • It can typically trigger Security Incident Response Process through security incident detection mechanisms.
  • It can typically involve Security Configuration Override in security multi-tenant environments.
  • It can typically affect Security Authentication Setting including security SSO configurations and security MFA settings.
  • It can typically require Security Impact Assessment for security breach scope and security exposure levels.
  • It can typically necessitate Security Recovery Action via security configuration restoration and security access re-enablement.
  • ...
  • It can often result from Security Plan Migration during security pricing plan switches.
  • It can often expose Security Vulnerable User after security session expiration or security user logout.
  • It can often demand Security Customer Notification through security incident communication protocols.
  • It can often lead to Security Compliance Violation under security regulatory frameworks.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Minor Security System Incident Event to being a Critical Security System Incident Event, depending on its security incident severity.
  • It can range from being a Isolated Security System Incident Event to being a Widespread Security System Incident Event, depending on its security incident scope.
  • It can range from being a Accidental Security System Incident Event to being a Malicious Security System Incident Event, depending on its security incident intent.
  • It can range from being a Configuration Security System Incident Event to being a Breach Security System Incident Event, depending on its security incident type.
  • It can range from being a Brief Security System Incident Event to being a Extended Security System Incident Event, depending on its security incident duration.
  • ...
  • It can be documented in Security Incident Report Document for security incident analysis.
  • It can be managed by Security Operations Center through security incident workflows.
  • It can be investigated via Security Forensic Analysis for security root cause determination.
  • It can be prevented through Security Safeguard Measure and security configuration validation.
  • It can be monitored by Security Information and Event Management System for security incident detection.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Authentication System Incident Events, such as:
    • SSO Disablement Incident Event after SSO pricing plan migration.
    • MFA Override Incident Event during MFA configuration update.
    • OAuth Token Exposure Event from OAuth configuration error.
  • Access Control Incident Events, such as:
    • Privilege Escalation Event through access control vulnerability.
    • Unauthorized Access Event via access control bypass.
    • Permission Inheritance Error in access control hierarchy.
  • Data Security Incident Events, such as:
    • Data Breach Event from data encryption failure.
    • Data Exposure Event through data access misconfiguration.
    • Data Leakage Event via data boundary violation.
  • Network Security Incident Events, such as:
    • Firewall Rule Bypass Event through firewall configuration error.
    • VPN Authentication Failure Event from VPN certificate expiration.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • IT System Performance Event, which affects system performance without security implications.
  • Planned Security Maintenance, which involves scheduled security updates rather than unexpected security incidents.
  • Security Audit Finding, which identifies potential security weaknesses without actual security incident occurrence.
