What does the term "Spam" typically refer to in the context of cybersecurity?

Unsolicited postal mail
Legitimate but unwanted e-mail
Malicious software
Unauthorized network access

The correct answer is: Legitimate but unwanted e-mail

In the context of cybersecurity, the term "Spam" typically refers to unwanted emails that are sent in bulk, often for commercial purposes. These emails are usually unsolicited and can clutter a user's inbox, making it difficult to find important emails. This type of spam is not considered malicious software or unauthorized network access, which are separate cybersecurity threats. Additionally, unsolicited postal mail, while also unwanted, does not specifically relate to the term "Spam" in the context of cybersecurity.
