The definition, in detail
Definition

Example

How it is used
Programs count "Malware detected on their device" per person from Endpoint protection and read it beside the other Endpoint and device signals; it feeds 0 cohorts, 0 sequences and 1 breach scenario.
A "malware detected on their device" record is evidence of what reaches the person (the threat side of the model). It says nothing on its own about what the person did.
