INTRODUCTION: THE CONCEPT OF ACTIVE RESPONSE

The active response continuum defines a category of digital response to unauthorized digital intrusions¹ and hence falls within a wide spectrum of potential responses by private entities.² At one end of the spectrum is the wholly passive, unknowing victim who relies entirely on just the inherent capabilities of the software that comes with the computer he or she purchased and who does not know when it is being attacked. At the other is the active, fully engaged victim ...
