But statistical won't forecast future attacks like predictive can.

I’m a bit confused between predictive and statistical. Both seem relevant, but I think predictive is more about future trends, right?

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think the answer was predictive analytics because it helps in forecasting future risks.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about diagnostic analytics being used to find root causes. Would that apply here?

I'm leaning towards predictive analytics. If we can build a model to forecast future attacks, that would be super valuable for this organization.

Qualitative analysis could provide some helpful context, but I don't think that's the main focus here. We need a more quantitative approach to really get to the bottom of this.

Statistical analysis seems like the way to go. We'll need to look for significant trends and patterns in the data to understand what's really going on.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Diagnostic analytics could also be useful to identify the root causes of the past attacks. That might help us prevent similar issues in the future.
