Hearsay evidence: Any statement made outside of the courtroom that is presented in court to prove the truth of the matter asserted. In cybersecurity, it may refer to a third-party report or statement about a cyber incident, attack, or vulnerability. This evidence is typically inadmissible in court due to its unverifiable nature, except under specific exceptions, highlighting the importance of forensic techniques and chain-of-custody in cyber incident investigations.
