Prevention
The posture pillar covering controls that stop attacks before they land. Email security, EDR blocking, web filtering, hardening, and patching move it. Strong on its own; weak when over-emphasized at the expense of Detection and Response.
Where this term fits in a CISO program
Prevention is one of 35 cybersecurity strategy concepts CISO Game models live. Prevention appears throughout the simulation — in the risk register, the investment catalog, and the mechanics reference — so a player encounters the concept in context rather than as an isolated definition.
