following strategies does this represent?
B imo, insurance shifts the financial burden to another party rather than reducing the risk itself. That’s a classic transfer move, not avoid or accept.
B imo, since insurance hands over the financial hit to the insurer, it’s clearly transferring the risk rather than reducing or avoiding it. No point picking mitigate here.
Actually, I’d rule out C (Mitigate) because buying insurance doesn’t lower the chance of a cyber incident happening. It just deals with the financial consequences after the fact. So it’s not really reducing the risk, just shifting it. That makes B (Transfer) the better fit since transferring risk means passing the impact to someone else, like an insurer.
B. Transfer sounds right since insurance shifts the financial risk to another party. Anyone think it could be mitigate instead? Not sure if buying insurance actually reduces the risk itself.
