I thought it was more about the cost of the prevention program itself.

I feel like cost avoidance might be more about the savings from not having losses, but I can't recall the exact definition we studied.

I think cost avoidance is related to losses that we prevent, but I'm not sure if it's specifically about security programs or something broader.

I'm a little confused by the wording here. Is option B talking about the cost of the loss-prevention program itself? Or is option A the right answer, describing the losses avoided?

Okay, I've got this. Cost avoidance is about the savings from not having losses, so the correct answer must be A. The security program helped avoid those potential losses.

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?

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.
