Definition
Machine-speed risk describes the potential impact of automated actions occurring faster than human monitoring or response. Rapid execution can amplify mistakes or malicious activity.
Why It Matters
When systems move faster than people can inspect, validate, or stop them, small issues can become major incidents within seconds.
Example
A misconfigured rule in a security workflow blocks thousands of legitimate sessions before an analyst can intervene.
