Which term corresponds to the definition: Actions taken to neutralize security threats?

• A. ThreatSync
• B. Security Settings
• C. Adaptive Protection Cycle
• D. Effective Remediation

Answer: (D)

Neutralizing security threats is all about remediation—the process of addressing and removing the threat, fix­ing the underlying vulnerability, and restoring systems to a secure state. The idea behind effective remediation is not just to take action, but to ensure those actions actually resolve the issue, verify that the threat is gone, and prevent recurrence through steps like containment, patching, cleanup, and validation of a secure, functioning environment.

So, the term that fits the definition is Effective Remediation because it directly describes performing actions that neutralize threats and restore security. ThreatSync is about sharing threat information, Security Settings refer to configurations, and Adaptive Protection Cycle points to an ongoing protection process rather than the concrete actions to eliminate a threat.
