Confidence Confidence indicates how reliable ProcIntel considers the event assessment based on the quality, quantity and independence of the supporting evidence. It does not measure the event's importance. Lifecycle Lifecycle shows the current state of the development: Breaking is newly detected, Active remains current, Monitoring is being watched for further changes, and Closed is no longer actively developing.
