Collusion: A situation where two or more entities (individuals, systems, or processes) unlawfully or maliciously cooperate to deceive or defraud. In terms of security, this could involve users sharing access credentials, systems working together to bypass security protocols, or processes being manipulated to allow unauthorized actions. Preventing collusion is an important aspect of maintaining robust security controls.
