Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

According to NIST guidelines, the incident category that includes activities seeking to access or identify a federal agency computer, open ports, protocols, services, or any combination thereof for later exploitation is categorized as 'Scans/Probes/Attempted Access'. This category encompasses any unauthorized attempts to access systems, networks, or data, which may include scanning for vulnerabilities or probing to discover open ports and services.

I'm going with C) Threat. Anything that can 'damage and interrupt' an organization's operations is definitely a threat, not just a risk or a vulnerability. Although, I do like the idea of an organization called 'Attack' - very bold!

I agree with Genevive. C) Threat is the way to go. Although, I did consider D) Vulnerability - that could also describe a potential issue for an organization.

Definitely C) Threat. I mean, who would name their organization 'Attack' or 'Vulnerability'? That's just asking for trouble!

That makes sense, but I still think it's B) Risk because it encompasses all potential undesired events.
