More car analogies

Security is like car safety , when you have active safety you can avoid incidents when you have passive safety you can minimise damage from incidents to the occupants. Active safety in motoring are things like good brakes headlights etc passive safety are things like air bags crumple zones seat belts fuel cut off valves etc. Infosec equivalents for these that let you drive at high speeds and not die in a crash are : headlights = threat intelligence services and IDS brakes = ? Fuel cut off valve = CSIRT Speedo = SEIM Right foot control = risk management accelerator = risk management framework crumple zones = DMZ
