Passive Response: A method of dealing with potential threats by logging them and possibly issuing alerts but not taking direct action to interrupt or mitigate the threat. These responses are often employed when the cost or potential disruption of active response exceeds the perceived risk of the threat. The goal is to gather information about the threat for later analysis and possible action.
