Disaster: An unforeseen event that causes significant disruption to the normal functioning of systems, operations, or services, ranging from natural events like floods, earthquakes, and fires to human-induced incidents like system failures, cyber-attacks, or data breaches. These events require activation of disaster recovery plans to restore functionality and minimize operational and financial impact.
