The three common methods of defense strategies can be categorized based on different contexts such as psychology, criminal law, and computing. Here are the three common methods in each domain:
1. Psychological Defense Mechanisms
These are unconscious strategies used by individuals to protect themselves from anxiety or uncomfortable emotions:
- Denial : Refusing to accept reality or facts.
- Projection : Attributing one’s own unacceptable feelings to others.
- Rationalization : Justifying behaviors or feelings with logical reasons instead of the true reasons
2. Criminal Defense Strategies
These are legal tactics used by defendants to challenge the prosecution’s case and avoid conviction:
- Alibi : Proving the defendant was elsewhere when the crime occurred.
- Insanity : Arguing the defendant was mentally incapable of understanding the crime.
- Self-Defense : Claiming the defendant’s actions were necessary to protect themselves from imminent harm
3. Computing Defense Strategies
These protect computer systems from unauthorized access or attacks:
- Boundary Protection : Using firewalls, passwords, and physical controls to prevent unauthorized entry.
- Information System Monitoring : Detecting intrusions or damage through antivirus software and anomaly detection.
- Unavoidable Actions : Defensive measures that cannot be bypassed, such as rebooting or hardware security switches
Each of these three methods represents a common approach within its field to defend against threats or harm effectively.
