Target of Evaluation (TOE): A set of software, firmware, and/or hardware components that are the subject of a security evaluation process. The TOE defines the boundaries of the product or system to be tested, including its security functions, interfaces, and implementation. By establishing a TOE, evaluators can systematically identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and verify the effectiveness of security controls.
