But prevention plays a role in that. By preventing the simple attacks, you force the attacker to raise the stakes and burn a more sophisticated attack, which is more likely to leave traces in various logs as it takes place.

We’ve also found that preventing the simple attacks gives our incident response team more time to find and deal with the bigger threats, which is good. Prevention helps reduce the noise, and a large company needs that.

I would rather switch to IE (yes, IE) than install chrome on any computer i use or maintain.
