security lapses

Security lapses refer to failures in protecting information, systems, or assets from unauthorized access or damage. They can occur due to weak passwords, outdated software, or human errors, such as falling for phishing scams. These vulnerabilities allow cybercriminals to exploit sensitive data, leading to theft, data breaches, or system disruptions. Organizations must regularly assess and enhance their security measures, such as using strong authentication, training employees, and implementing robust software updates, to minimize the risk of security lapses and safeguard their information.
