Impact

The impact of a case represents the potential damage of the breach, and is evaluated directly from the case’s breached classifiers. The impact is used as a multiplier to increase the risk score. For example, a 20% increase in impact results in a 20% increase in risk score.

Marking a source as a privileged account increases the impact value, as breaches from privileged accounts may comprise highly sensitive information or evolve into a high- profile breach.
