The Protection Cycle - CORRECT ANSWER -1) Visibility
2) Detection
3) Remediation/response
4) Prevention
Visibility - CORRECT ANSWER -(Protection Cycle)Trace every action taken by running
applications.
, Detection - CORRECT ANSWER -(Protection Cycle)Monitor active processes and preform real-
time blocking of zero-day attacks, targeted attacks, and other advanced threats designed to
