Which of the following best describes Preventative countermeasures in security?

  1. They come into effect after an event has occurred

  2. They require compliance with defined procedures

  3. They use policy to protect assets and ensure compliance

  4. They work by keeping something from happening in the first place

The correct answer is: They work by keeping something from happening in the first place

Preventative countermeasures in security work by keeping something from happening in the first place. They are proactive measures put in place to prevent security incidents from occurring. This approach focuses on anticipating and mitigating potential risks before they materialize, rather than reacting after an event has occurred. Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe preventative countermeasures in security as they do not emphasize the proactive nature of prevention.
