CEM Reference: |
The definition of counter is inaccurate. Strictly speaking, an objective cannot counter a threat; an objective is a statement of what is needed to counter a threat.
Objectives are merely statements of goals. They do not counter threats solely by their existence; it is when objectives are realised that the threat is mitigated.
CC Part 3, Paragraph 75 is replaced with:
Counter (verb) - This term is typically used in the context that the impact of a particular threat is mitigated but not necessarily eradicated.Rationale
