Any adverse event whereby some aspect of computer security could be threatened: loss of data confidentiality, disruption of data or system integrity, or disruption or denial of availability [NIST-800-3] Proposition made by Internet Security Glossary [RFC 2828]: (I) A security event that involves a security violation. (See: CERT, GRIP, security event, security intrusion, security violation.) (C) In other words, a security-relevant system event in which the system's security policy is disobeyed or otherwise breached. (O) "Any adverse event which compromises some aspect of computer or network security." [RFC2350] (D) ISDs SHOULD NOT use this "O" definition because (a) a security incident may occur without actually being harmful (i.e., adverse) and (b) this Glossary defines "compromise" more narrowly in relation to unauthorized access. I = recommended C = commentary O= NOT recommended D = definition NOT TO BE USED
