# Risk Event

In the TLCTC Bow-Tie model, the central occurrence that represents the materialization of a threat, positioned between causes (threats) and effects (consequences). For cyber risk, this is "Loss of Control" or "System Compromise". Can trigger event chains where one outcome becomes the event triggering subsequent events.
