Mikaela recently implemented an intrusion prevention system designed to block common network attacks from affecting her organization. What type of risk management strategy is Mikaela pursuing?

Risk mitigation strategies attempt to lower the probability and/or impact of a risk occurring. Intrusion prevention systems attempt to reduce the probability of a successful attack and are, therefore, examples of risk mitigation. Risk acceptance involves making a conscious decision to accept a risk as is with no further action. Risk avoidance alters business activities to make a risk irrelevant. Risk transference shifts the costs of a risk to another organization, such as an insurance company.
