Select ALL classifications that the material says NIST Special Publication 800-61 uses for cybersecurity situations.
Answer
Events, Adverse events, Incidents
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Events**: This is one of the three terms the material says the guide uses to classify situations.
- **Adverse events**: This category includes harmful or disruptive situations such as system outages.
- **Incidents**: Serious matters, such as unauthorized insider data removal, trigger a full incident response.
### The concept
These labels support triage, which means deciding how a situation should be handled and whether it needs escalation. They help distinguish a matter an analyst can assess from a disruption or a serious incident requiring a broader response. Residual risk belongs to risk assessment terminology rather than this three-term classification.
### The other options
- **Residual risks**: This is risk remaining after controls, not one of the three situation classifications listed in the material.
### Terms
- **NIST**: National Institute of Standards and Technology.
- **Triage**: Initial assessment used to decide handling and escalation.
### Remember
The three classifications are event, adverse event, and incident.
