Which term refers to methods or techniques used to inform decision making for countering future attacks on the target network?
Correct Answer:
Proactive Approach
Explanation:
Proactive approach emphasizes forecasting threats and shaping defenses before an attack occurs. It uses threat intelligence, lessons from past incidents, vulnerability assessments, and risk modeling to guide decisions about where to invest in controls, how to architect the network, and which defenses to tune. By turning these insights into actionable plans, it informs countermeasures for future attacks on the target network. While preventive measures aim to stop threats upfront, retrospective analysis looks at what happened after an incident, and detection controls focus on identifying ongoing activity. None of these emphasizes forward-looking decision making as strongly as the proactive approach.
