Alert: A notification generated by a security system in response to a detected event or condition that may indicate a potential security issue. Alerts are designed to draw attention to anomalies, such as attempted unauthorized access, suspicious network traffic, or deviations from normal system behavior. They play a crucial role in incident response by enabling timely detection and remediation of security incidents.
