I’m torn between "data breach" and "security incident." I just hope I remember the right definition during the exam!

I feel like "breach of confidentiality" might be a trick answer here, but it doesn't seem as specific as "data breach."

I remember practicing a question about GDPR terms, and "data breach" stood out as the most common term used for unauthorized access.

I think the term we're looking for is "data breach," but I'm not entirely sure if "security incident" could also apply in some contexts.
