- Loss Event
Loss Event: Refers to a circumstance or occurrence that causes a negative impact on the assets, operations, or personnel of an organization. This can include data breaches, system failures, or other disruptions that lead to the loss of data, productivity, or financial resources. Understanding and preparing for potential loss events are crucial aspects of risk management and business continuity planning.
- Low granularity in data
Low granularity in data: Low granularity in data refers to a high-level or summary view of data where the information is aggregated or less detailed. It can be beneficial for analyzing overall trends and patterns but may lack the finer details required for in-depth analysis. Examples of low granularity could include annual revenue figures or total page views on a website, as opposed to transaction-level or page-level details.
