Suspension: The temporary disabling of access privileges or other capabilities. In a security context, a user’s account might be suspended due to suspicious activity, violations of policy, or as part of a user offboarding process. Suspension is often used as a preventive measure, allowing for investigations or remediation activities to take place without further potential harm or breach of security.
