Which term refers to experiments that gauge how quickly security responds to a potential breach?

• A. Surveillance
• B. Test of Security
• C. Dry Run
• D. Elicitation

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is about evaluating how quickly security responds when a breach is suspected. A Test of Security is the term that fits because it denotes a formal assessment of security measures under controlled conditions, focusing on how fast detection happens, how quickly decisions are made, and how promptly responses are carried out. This kind of exercise looks at people, processes, and technology together to measure timing and effectiveness during a potential incident.

Surveillance is ongoing monitoring, not a structured evaluation of response speed. A dry run is a rehearsal of procedures to see if steps are understood and can be carried out, but it doesn’t specifically target the speed and effectiveness of security responses to a simulated breach. Elicitation is about gathering information covertly, not testing security performance.
