Cybersecurity Law

Do you think separating cyber incidents from significant cyber incidents (PPD41) is a good idea? If so, do you think there is enough of a tangible distinction between the two?

Cyber incident:  An event occurring on or conducted through a computer network that actually or imminently jeopardizes the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of computers, information or communications systems or networks, physical or virtual infrastructure controlled by computers or information systems, or information resident thereon. For purposes of this directive, a cyber incident may include a vulnerability in an information system, system security procedures, internal controls, or implementation that could be exploited by a threat source.

Significant cyber incident: A cyber incident that is (or group of related cyber incidents that together are) likely to result in demonstrable harm to the national security interests, foreign relations, or economy of the United States or to the public confidence,
civil liberties, or public health and safety of the American people
