Event

An event is any notable occurrence within an information system or network, such as a login attempt, system error, or data access. While not all events indicate problems, they can provide critical clues that an incident might be occurring or at least raise suspicion of potential issues. Monitoring and analyzing events is crucial for identifying patterns or anomalies that may suggest security incidents or operational problems.
