Proactive cyber defense or active cyber defense (ACD) means acting in anticipation to oppose an attack involving computers and networks. Proactive cyber defense will most often require additional cybersecurity from internet service providers.

Some of the reasons for a proactive defense strategy are about cost and choice. Making choices after an attack are difficult and costly. Proactive defense is key to mitigating operational risk.

==History==

In the fifth century, B.C., Sun Tzu advocated foreknowledge (predictive analysis) as part of a winning strategy. He warned that planners must have a precise understanding of the active threat and not "remain ignorant of the enemy's condition". The thread of proactive defense is spun throughout his teachings.

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl was likely the first to use of the term proactive in his 1946 book Man's Search for Meaning to distinguish the act of taking responsibility for one's own circumstances rather than attributing one's condition to external factors.

Later in 1982, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) used "proactive" as a contrary concept to "reactive" in assessing risk. In the framework of risk management "proactive" meant taking initiative by acting rather than reacting to threat events. Conversely "reactive" measures respond to a stimulus or past events rather than predicting the event. Military science then and now considers defense as the science-art of thwarting an attack. Furthermore, doctrine poses that if a party attacks an enemy who is about to attack this could be called active-defense. Defense is also a euphemism for war but does not carry the negative connotation of an offensive war. Usage in this way has broadened the term to include most military issues including offensive, which is implicitly referred to as active-defense. Politically, the concept of national self-defense to counter a war of aggression refers to a defensive war involving pre-emptive offensive strikes and is one possible criterion in the 'Just War Theory'. Proactive defense has moved beyond theory. It has been put into practice in theatres of operation.

In 1989 Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, published by Free Press, transformed the meaning "to act before a situation becomes a source of confrontation or crisis". Since then, "proactive" has been placed in opposition to the words "reactive" or "passive".

+Proactive cyber defense, or active cyber defense (ACD), involves taking preemptive actions to counteract potential cyber attacks on computers and networks. This approach typically necessitates enhanced cybersecurity measures provided by internet service providers.
-Some of the reasons for a proactive defense strategy are about cost and choice. Making choices after an attack are difficult and costly. Proactive defense is key to mitigating operational risk.
+The rationale behind adopting a proactive defense strategy centers on issues of cost and decision-making. Decisions made post-attack can be both challenging and expensive. Proactively addressing security threats is crucial for reducing operational risks.
 ==History==
-In the fifth century, B.C., Sun Tzu advocated foreknowledge (predictive analysis) as part of a winning strategy. He warned that planners must have a precise understanding of the active threat and not "remain ignorant of the enemy's condition". The thread of proactive defense is spun throughout his teachings.
+In the 5th century B.C., the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of predictive analysis in successful strategy formulation. He insisted that military planners must thoroughly comprehend the active threats and avoid being oblivious to the adversary's condition. His teachings consistently reflect the theme of proactive defense.
-Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl was likely the first to use of the term proactive in his 1946 book Man's Search for Meaning to distinguish the act of taking responsibility for one's own circumstances rather than attributing one's condition to external factors.
+The term "proactive" was first used by psychiatrist Viktor Frankl in his 1946 book, Man's Search for Meaning, to describe taking responsibility for one's own situation instead of blaming external circumstances.
-Later in 1982, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) used "proactive" as a contrary concept to "reactive" in assessing risk. In the framework of risk management "proactive" meant taking initiative by acting rather than reacting to threat events. Conversely "reactive" measures respond to a stimulus or past events rather than predicting the event. Military science then and now considers defense as the science-art of thwarting an attack. Furthermore, doctrine poses that if a party attacks an enemy who is about to attack this could be called active-defense. Defense is also a euphemism for war but does not carry the negative connotation of an offensive war. Usage in this way has broadened the term to include most military issues including offensive, which is implicitly referred to as active-defense. Politically, the concept of national self-defense to counter a war of aggression refers to a defensive war involving pre-emptive offensive strikes and is one possible criterion in the 'Just War Theory'. Proactive defense has moved beyond theory. It has been put into practice in theatres of operation.
+In 1982, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) contrasted "proactive" with "reactive" in the context of risk assessment. In risk management, being "proactive" involves initiating actions in anticipation of threats, whereas "reactive" measures are those taken in response to events that have already occurred. Military science both historically and presently views defense as the method of preventing attacks. Moreover, the doctrine suggests that attacking an adversary who is poised to strike could be considered active-defense. Although the term "defense" is often used as a softer alternative to "war," it does not imply the negativity associated with offensive warfare. The use of "proactive" has expanded within military discussions to encompass all aspects of military operations, including offensive actions, which are subtly categorized as active-defense. Politically, the notion of national self-defense against an aggressive war includes preemptive strikes and is sometimes cited as a criterion in the 'Just War Theory'. Proactive defense has evolved from a theoretical concept to practical application in military operations.
-In 1989 Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, published by Free Press, transformed the meaning "to act before a situation becomes a source of confrontation or crisis". Since then, "proactive" has been placed in opposition to the words "reactive" or "passive".
+Stephen Covey's 1989 book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, published by Free Press, further reshaped the understanding of "proactive" to mean taking action before a situation escalates into conflict or crisis. Since then, the term "proactive" has commonly been set in opposition to "reactive" or "passive."
