Certified Incident Handler (ECIH v3) — Question 74

One of the goals of CSIRT is to manage security problems by taking a certain approach towards the customers' security vulnerabilities and by responding effectively to potential information security incidents. Identify the incident response approach that focuses on developing the infrastructure and security processes before the occurrence or detection of an event or any incident:

Answer options

• A. Interactive approach
• B. Introductive approach
• C. Proactive approach
• D. Qualitative approach

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Proactive approach, as it involves preparing and establishing security measures in advance to prevent incidents. The other options, such as the Interactive and Introductive approaches, do not emphasize this preemptive preparation, and the Qualitative approach focuses more on assessing and analyzing rather than building infrastructure.
