This question seems straightforward. I think the answer is A - the amount of losses that likely would have occurred without the security program.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Is it talking about the cost of the security program itself or the losses prevented by it?

I have a feeling it's AWS WAF, but I keep mixing it up with AWS Inspector for some reason.

Okay, I think I've got it. The method is going to delete all the .class files in the Projects directory and its subdirectories. So the answer is A.

Cost avoidance? Sounds like the security team is playing a game of 'hide and seek' with the budget. Where did all that money go?

Cost avoidance? More like 'cost invisibility' if you ask me. What a sneaky way to make expenses disappear!

Outsourcing savings? Really? I don't think that's what cost avoidance is all about. Seems like a bit of a stretch there.

I agree, outsourcing savings doesn't seem to fit the definition of cost avoidance.

Ah, I see! Cost avoidance is the amount of losses that would have happened without a disaster recovery plan. That makes sense, it's all about preventing potential disasters.

I'm not sure, but I think cost avoidance could also be related to the savings achieved through outsourcing, so maybe option D could be correct too.

Hmm, I'm not sure if it's about the cost of the loss-prevention program itself. That seems more like the investment, not the savings.

But wouldn't cost avoidance be more about preventing losses rather than savings from outsourcing?

I think cost avoidance is about the losses that would have happened without the security program. It's like an insurance policy - you pay for it, but it saves you from bigger problems down the line.
