In preparing and planning for disaster recovery, what is the difference between an incident and a disaster?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: An incident is any event, large or small, that has adverse effects on a network's availability or resources. This could be a security breach, such as a hacker gaining access to a user's account, an infection, such as a worm or virus, or an environmental issue, such as a fire or flood. A disaster on the other hand is an extreme type of incident, involving a network outage that affects more than a single system or limited group of users.
