action, device, procedure, or technique that reduces a threat, a vulnerability, or an attack by eliminating or preventing it, by minimizing the harm it can cause, or by discovering and reporting it so that corrective action can be taken
NOTE: The term “control” is also used to describe this concept in some contexts. The term countermeasure has been chosen for this standard to avoid confusion with the word "control" in the context of "process control".
