In cybersecurity, 'natural' refers to events or phenomena that occur without human intervention, such as natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, storms) that can disrupt IT infrastructure and services. These events can cause data loss, downtime, and vulnerabilities if proper disaster recovery and business continuity plans are not in place. Unlike cyberattacks or human errors, natural events are unpredictable and require organizations to implement robust physical and digital safeguards to minimize potential damage. Recognizing natural risks is essential for comprehensive risk assessment and effective cybersecurity strategy.
