Which of the following is the MOST effective strategy to prevent an attacker from disabling a network?
Correct Answer: B
The most effective strategy to prevent an attacker from disabling a network is to design networks with the ability to adapt, reconfigure, and fail over. A network that can adapt, reconfigure, and fail over is a network that can dynamically adjust its topology, configuration, and routing, and switch to alternative or backup components, in response to any changes, disruptions, or attacks in the network environment. A network that can adapt, reconfigure, and fail over can prevent an attacker from disabling a network, as it can maintain the availability, resilience, and performance of the network, and mitigate the impact or damage of the attack12.
