Rule Shadowing Definition: Rule Shadowing is a phenomenon in cybersecurity where conflicting rules or policies may result in unexpected or inconsistent behavior within a system or network.
Rule Shadowing in cybersecurity refers to a situation where a more specific rule overrides a less specific rule within a rule set or policy. This can lead to conflicts or unintended consequences when interpreting how certain actions or permissions should be managed within a security system. It is important to carefully manage rule priority and specificity to prevent unexpected security gaps or behavior.
