Defining Cyber Security Incidents: Types, Classifications, and Impact Analysis Cyber security incidents can take many forms, each characterized by its distinct nature and origin. These incidents can generally be classified into categories such as malware attacks, ransomware, phishing attempts, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and insider threats. Malware attacks involve malicious software designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to systems.

Ransomware is a specific type of malware that encrypts files and demands payment for decryption. Phishing attempts trick users into revealing sensitive information by masquerading as trustworthy sources. On the other hand, denial-of-service attacks flood a network with traffic to render it unusable, while insider threats originate from individuals within the organization who misuse their access to compromise information systems.
