Detective and Preventative Measures

Ideally, an organization can avoid incidents completely by implementing preventive countermeasures. When an incident does occur, an organization will want to detect it as soon as possible. Intrusion detection and prevention systems are some of the ways that organizations detect incidents. Security professionals need to understand common attack methods so that they can take proactive steps to prevent them. Select a common attack, describe the attack and how organizations attempt to prevent the attack from happening, and explain how they detect and respond to the attack. Research current news for attacks for the example you have provided.
