Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Arrange these activities in a basic incident-management sequence, from measures intended to act before a breach through action after an incident is identified.
Answer
Implement measures to prevent unauthorized access, Identify a potential threat or vulnerability, Take action to mitigate the incident's impact
Explanation
### Why this is right
The sequence follows the roles of prevention, detection, and response. Preventive measures are put in place to reduce risk; detection identifies a potential problem; response then acts to limit the impact of an incident.
### The order
1. **Implement measures to prevent unauthorized access**: Prevention is designed to reduce the chance of a breach before one is identified.
2. **Identify a potential threat or vulnerability**: Detection recognizes a risk or weakness that requires attention.
3. **Take action to mitigate the incident's impact**: Response follows identification and aims to reduce harm.
### Terms
- **Incident management**: Coordinated work to identify and address security events.
- **Mitigate**: Reduce the impact or likelihood of harm.
### Remember
Prevention, detection, and response describe different stages of security work.
