Definition
Machine-speed execution refers to automated actions performed by software systems at speeds far beyond human reaction time.
Why It Matters
Automation allows systems to execute thousands of operations within seconds. While this improves efficiency, it also means errors or attacks can propagate rapidly across infrastructure.
Example
An automated system incorrectly flags legitimate traffic and blocks thousands of user sessions within seconds.
