Cross-departmental coordination, testing and drills, and learning from past incidents are listed as proactive incident response strategies.

### Why this is right All three activities appear in the course’s list of proactive incident response strategies. They sit alongside planning, threat intelligence gathering, and regular audits and assessments. ### The concept Proactive strategies prepare the organization and help it improve how teams work together. Coordination connects departments, drills let teams practice, and lessons from past incidents can inform future preparation. These are distinct activities, so one does not replace the others. ### Terms - **Cross-departmental coordination**: organized cooperation between different departments. - **Proactive incident response**: preparation and improvement intended to support an effective response. ### Remember Preparation includes coordination, practice, and learning, not just a written plan.
