Silent Failure
A classic concept in reliability engineering referring to a system fault that neither throws an exception nor triggers an alarm, continuing to run with a normal appearance. Detection depends on external probes or active verification. In the security domain, it often manifests as a configuration that exists but whose execution results do not take effect.

Silent failure is a classic concept in reliability engineering, referring to a system that, when a fault occurs, neither throws an exception nor triggers an alert but continues to run with a "normal" appearance.
Silent failure of navigation software (where the system outputs erroneous data without triggering an alert) is considered in engineering to be a high-risk scenario more difficult to guard against than overt failure.
