Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies (CBRCOR) — Question 90

An organization had several cyberattacks over the last 6 months and has tasked an engineer with looking for patterns or trends that will help the organization anticipate future attacks and mitigate them. Which data analytic technique should the engineer use to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. diagnostic
• B. qualitative
• C. predictive
• D. statistical

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, predictive, as this technique is specifically designed to forecast future events based on historical data, which is essential for anticipating cyberattacks. The other options, such as diagnostic, qualitative, and statistical, do not focus on forecasting future occurrences, making them less suitable for this particular task.
