Service Disruption
Service disruption refers to an interruption or degradation in the normal operation of an IT service, making it partially or completely unavailable to users. This can be caused by various factors, including cyberattacks, system failures, or maintenance issues.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Service disruption, in cybersecurity and incident response, signifies an event that impairs or ceases the functionality of critical IT services or systems, often resulting from cyber incidents like denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, ransomware, or system breaches, necessitating rapid identification and recovery as a key incident response objective.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
