During risk treatment, which strategy is characterized by deploying security controls to reduce the probability or potential damage of an identified risk to an acceptable level?
Transference
Acceptance
Avoidance
Mitigation
The strategy described is mitigation, also known as risk modification. Mitigation involves adding or enhancing safeguards-such as encryption, access controls, or redundancy-to lower either the likelihood that a threat succeeds or the magnitude of its impact. Transference shifts the risk to a third party (for example, through insurance), acceptance means consciously deciding to take no further action, and avoidance eliminates the risky activity altogether. Only mitigation focuses on reducing likelihood or impact through controls.
